Sunset Borderline Lyrics

A simple scent of summer stole my heart for the last dance
The smell of two-stroke petrol from a motorbike we used to have
Those playing fields of cut grass, you know, high school left me kind of blue
Now with every sweet summer breeze I'll be thinking, I'll be thinking, of you

Now I'm waiting for the sunset borderline
'Cos every sun's gotta set with time
But I'll remember those moments for ever more as the days
Where nothing had changed at all.

Found a long lost picture of the car we used to run
Cotton candy coloured paintwork looked so faded in the sun
And that, 6 o'clock sunrise you always used to drive me to
Guess that long lost picture will always have me thinking, have me thinking of you

Now I'm waiting for the sunset borderline
'Cos every sun's gotta set with time
But I'll remember those moments for ever more as the days
Where nothing had changed at all.

So for every little sad sweet love song that's ever sung, I'll be thinking
And for every lost summer's day that ever been and gone, I'll be thinking
Oh, I wonder if you're gonna be, the tear that follows me,
Until that sun is set I guess I'll always be

Waiting for the sunset borderline
'Cos every sun's gotta set with time
But I'll remember those moments for ever more as the days
Where nothing had changed at all.

I tuned into the radio flicking through the stations one by one
Tried to listen through the rain, humming those melodies alone
And I, I remember how you told me, Lennon and McCartney always pulled you through
So as the music fades out I'll be thinking, I'll be thinking of you.

this is an absolutely beautiful song. Even though you've moved on you can still reflect on that summer and that boy with happiness whenever these every day occurences happen
