"5150" Lyrics

The love line is never straight and narrow
Unless your love is tried and true
We take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try win or lose
Take the highs with the blues

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Share one for all with you
It's only one for me
Ah, why draw the line
And meet you half the way
And you don't know
What the means, oh yeah

I feel like a running politician, oh
Just trying to please you all the time
I've given you myself with no conditions
Going wide, running long
Feeling lost but not for long

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Share one for all with you
It's only one for me
So why draw the line
Meet you half the way
When you don't know
What that means, oh yeah

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Share one for all with you
It's only one for me
So why draw the line
And meet you half the way
When you don't know
What that means

I'll meet you half the way
Whoa yeah
I'll meet you half the way
Whoa yeah
