[Verse 1] I keep my shoes by the door One side calls me by name One side knows my scar And the other knows my shame I pack a key in my fist Like I’m leaving, like I’m staying The line in the tile floor Keeps on swaying [Pre-Chorus] One step and I’m here One step and I’m gone Your hand on my sleeve Pulling both of them along I can hear the gate click I can feel it in my bones Two worlds on my tongue And neither one feels home [Chorus] On the border of two lives (oh-oh, oh-oh) I’m still mine, I’m still mine (hey, hey) On the border of two lives (oh-oh, oh-oh) Tell me where I land tonight Where I land tonight [Verse 2] Same old coffee stain On a shirt I never wore Same name on the mailbox Same doubt at the door I laugh a little louder When I want to disappear I look right at your face Then I fold my fear [Pre-Chorus] One step and I’m here One step and I’m gone Your hand on my sleeve Pulling both of them along I can hear the gate click I can feel it in my bones Two worlds on my tongue And neither one feels home [Chorus] On the border of two lives (oh-oh, oh-oh) I’m still mine, I’m still mine (hey, hey) On the border of two lives (oh-oh, oh-oh) Tell me where I land tonight Where I land tonight [Bridge] If I cross, do I break? If I stay, do I bend? I’ve been living in the crack Between the now and then Take my name, take my fear Take the half that won’t decide I can live on this line I can live on this line [Chorus] On the border of two lives (oh-oh, oh-oh) I’m still mine, I’m still mine (hey, hey) On the border of two lives (oh-oh, oh-oh) Tell me where I land tonight Where I land tonight
