I'm standing on the borderline What should I bring or leave behind From who I was For who I'm gonna be? I still haven't packed my bags It's time to go And I could not care less So now, I'll miss the train A walk's still progress made I just won't arrive quite as fast I'm thinking way back To where I'm from To the things I had I feel I've forgotten something I'm sure that it's probably nothing But that's based more on fear than on fact I'm standing on the borderline Between two states - I'm petrified To push ahead or turn back homewardly I'm a shadow of the past The shadow of a boy A boy who couldn't last They said: "son, don't change" And I keep hoping they won't see how much I have A feeling's not a thing you own But it can be lost I just want to be home 'Cause home's where the heart is And when I departed I might've abandoned them both I'm standing on the borderline Between two states - I'm petrified I'm standing on the borderline What should I bring or leave behind From who I was For who I'm gonna be? I'd like to say: "I'm the same person from yesterday Nothing's changed" 'Cause yesterday I was eager to see what awaited I wasn't jaded But no! I can't go back Youth seemed sweeter, but if I could return, All I've learned would be forfeit I won't go back I'm followed by the borderline As I pace forward in my life Seeking the times I'll long for once they leave me
