  • Line, times, pain
    Such strange love
    Line, times, pain
    Such strangle love

    Gone a little far
    Gone a little far this time with something
    How was I to know?
    How was I to know this high came rushing?

    We're on the borderline
    Caught between the tides of pain and rapture
    Possibly a sign
    I'm gonna have the strangest night on Sunday

    Go, there I go
    Quite a show for a loner in L.A.
    Askin' how I managed to end up in this place
    And I couldn't get away

    We're on the borderline
    Dangerously far and all forgiven
    There's gonna be a fight
    Gonna be a price to pay on Monday
    We're on the borderline
    Caught between the tides of pain and rapture
    Then I saw the time
    Watched it speeding by like a train, like a train

    Will I be known and loved?
    Is there one that I trust?
    Starting to sober up
    Has it been long enough?
    Will I be known and loved?
    Little closer, close enough
    I'm a loser, loosen up
    Set it free, must be tough
    Will I be known and loved?
    Is there one that I trust?
    In this room, room for doubt
    As within, as without ya
    Will I be so in love?
    Any closer, close enough
    Shout out to what is done
    R.I.P. here comes the sun

    Here comes the sun
    Ah, ah, ah

    Gone a little far
    Gone a little far this time with something
    How could I have known?
    How was I to know this high came rushing?
    I said come with me outside
    I need to clear my mind, this weight is crushing
    Do you see the light, oh
    Coming from their eyes? Oh no
    And I couldn't get away

    We're on the borderline
    Gets me every time, these close encounters
    Just to know I can
    Once again, I am alone

    Will I be known and loved?
    Is there one that I trust?
    Starting to sober up
    Has it been long enough?
    Will I be known and loved?
    Little closer, close enough
    I'm a loser, loosen up
    Set it free, must be tough
    Will I be known and loved?
    L.A. really messed me up
    And it isn't cut and dry
    Conversation, well, I tried
    Will I be? Stay right here
    Any closer, bad idea
    Shout out to what is done
    R.I.P. here comes the sun
    Will I be known and loved?
    Is there one that I trust?
    Starting to sober up
    Has it been Writer/s: Kevin Parker
