Tame Impala - Borderline (Single Version)

[simplyanangel]

it’s incredible how essential the at the beginning is to this version.

[silverlink]

I love how this version is airier and less in your face. Feels a lot more chill than the final version

[titutoyou]

This version is so raw. Still refuse to let it go.

[chafiamameri]

“LA really messed me up” gets me every time. love this version sm

[GregorioMusic]

I understand him wanting to make a version with the vision he originally intended for the song but the fact that he removed the other version when it already was presented and existed to other is what is infuriating and upsetting. The single version clearly held a special place in people's hearts and to lose that is hard to swallow.

[sydneyr]

i feel like those who heard this version first understand how much better this version is. Those who heard the album version probably can’t tell the difference but boy is there a difference

[dwaynesworld_]

It was the imperfections and rawness that made this version better. It's not over processed like the final version. It has a charm and a ethereal quality that makes you wanna float away.

[loluzardo]

“As within, as without ya”, damnnnn, that part hit different

[artofbeast]

the in the beginning makes a huge difference. this version is 10/10 wyd Kev

[Theresa]

I’m sad for the people who don’t know about this version

[Nattters]

WHY CANT THE SINGLE VERSION AND ALBUM VERSION BOTH EXIST IM SO UPSET

[raquellewallace]

How he sings @ 2:51 and “knoooow” @3:01 gives me chills every time, I’ll never let this version go🥹

[sempiternalsavage]

I was actually really pissed when I saw this version was taken off Spotify. I don’t care for the new version. It’s hollow. Thank you so much!

[armannasr]

this guy mixes 20 instruments together without sounding muddy

[davidh]

I don’t think I can ever forgive Tame impala for taking this off Spotify, a masterpiece

Lyrics:
Gone a little far
Gone a little far this time for something
How was I to know?
How was I to know this high came rushing?

We're on the borderline
Caught between the tides of pain and rapture
Possibly a sign
I'm gonna have the strangest night on Sunday

There I go
Quite a show for a loner in L.A.​
Askin' how I managed to end up in this place
And I couldn't get away

We're on the borderline
Dangerously far and all forgiven
There's gonna be a fight
Gonna be a price to pay on Monday (If you and I get comfortable)
We're on the borderline (On the borderline)
Caught between the tides of pain and rapture
Then I saw the time (Then I saw the time)
Watched it speedin' by like a train, like a train

Will I be known and loved?
Is there one that I trust?
Starting to sober up
Has it been long enough?
Will I be known and loved?
Little closer, close enough
I'm a loser, loosen up
Setting free, must be tough
Will I be known and loved?
Is there one that I trust?
If there's room, room for doubt
As within, as without ya
Will I be so in love?
Any closer? Close enough
Shout out to what is done
R.I.P., here comes the sun
Here comes the sun

Gone a little far
Gone a little far this time with something
How could I have known?
How was I to know this high came rushing?
I said, "Come with me outside"
I need to clear my mind, this weight is crushing
Do you see the light, oh
Coming from their eyes? Oh no
And I couldn't get away


We're on the borderline (Ooh)
Gets me every time, these close encounters
Just to know I can (Just to know I can)
Once again, I am alone

Will I be known and loved?
Is there one that I trust?
Starting to sober up
Has it been long enough?
Will I be known and loved?
Little closer, close enough
I'm a loser, loosen up
Setting free, must be tough (I was fine without ya)
Will I be known and loved?
L.A. really messed me up
And it isn't cut and dry
Conversation, well, I tried (I was fine without ya)
Will I be? Stay right here
Any closer? Bad idea
Shout out to what is done
R.I.P., here comes the sun (I was fine without ya)
Will I be known and loved?
Is there one that I trust?
Starting to sober up
Has it been long enough?
