  • Sadness always finds an in
    Sneaks its way past, infecting everything
    And every chapter has an end
    This is one momentous sequel, don't you think?

    And the blackbirds, they fly
    Like a frown on the skyline

    Right now, I feel I'm running from the light
    Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
    One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
    Which way will I?

    Guess I should take this on the chin
    But I don't even know how all of this began
    And we are made to mould and bend
    How can I wish for nothing when it's still a sin?

    And right now, I feel I'm running from the light
    Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
    One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
    Which way will I?
    Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
    We are so blind waiting on the borderline
    Waiting on the borderline

    So I will pour another drink
    And try to drown the pain with salt along the rim
    And I'll shut off the things I think
    'Cause nothing good will ever come from worrying

    Right now, I feel I'm running from the light
    Engulfed in darkness, shielded from my eyes
    One foot in, one out, I'm stuck on the borderline
    Which way will I?
    Tears never arrive, these ducts are dry
    We are so blind Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Edward Christopher Sheeran
