Lyrics

Fine Line

How would I know

About your life?

And how about

A long night?

How do you

Follow the sun?

And how do you stay

Under the thumb?

There's a fine line between us

Such a fine, fine line

There's a fine line between us

And it's always on my mind

What can you say

To make me realize

The full moon in your eyes?

You probably know

Now that you're waking up (Shaken up)

You still feel shaken up (Waking up)

There's a fine line between us

All the way

There's a fine line between us

Can't waste another day

They take you in their arms and whisper

What you want to hear

Don't you fall

They show you all their charms and whisper

Don't you shed a tear

Don't you fall

There's a fine line between us

Such a fine, fine line

There's a fine line between us

And it's always on my mind

There's a fine line between us

All the way

There's a fine line between us

Can't waste another day

Such a fine line

There's a fine line between us
