John Steinbeck
Just Short Of The Line
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm love, sometimes I'm hate
Sometimes I go just in time to be late
Sometimes I get, sometimes I'm got
Sometimes I swear I must be, but I'm not

[Chorus]
And it's a small thin line guarding my peace of mind
Sometimes my sanity lies on the edge
Suspended in time, just short of the line

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I'm numb
I swear I know just enough to be dumb
Sometimes I huff, sometimes I puff
And lately too much is never enough

[Chorus]
And it's a small thin line guarding my peace of mind
Sometimes my sanity lies on the edge
Suspended in time, just short of the line

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I'm cold, sometimes I burn
Sometimes I have to be taught what I've learned
Sometimes I'm good, mostly I'm bad
And just when I think I have, I get had
[Chorus]
Still, it's a small thin line guarding my peace of mind
Sometimes my sanity lies on the edge
Suspended in time, just short of the line, just short of the line

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm love, sometimes I'm hate
Sometimes I go just in time to be late
Sometimes I get, sometimes I'm got
Sometimes I swear I must be, but I'm not

[Chorus]
Still, it's a small thin line guarding my peace of mind
Sometimes my sanity lies on the edge
Suspended in time, just short of the line
