On the Borderline

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 think you own But it can be lost I just want to go 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
