lyrics

Alcohol and cigarettes
are much much cheaper if you cross the state line
Late at night there is a chance
you might get stopped for rolling through a stop sign

Bored out of their minds
Killing some time
And you, you feel it too
That’s why you’re crossing the line
A very fine line
Crossing the line
A very very fine line

I was walking all alone
Underneath the stars and the silver moon
You saw me through your TV light
Pulled me in from the cold for a drink and a tune

Bored out of my mind
Killing some time
And you, you feel it too
That’s why you’re crossing the line
A very fine line
Crossing the line
A very very fine line

Early in the drive
Later in the park
There’s danger in the day
Maybe better when it’s dark
Making up the rules
You had me hold the keys
I was still in school
You were on your knees
I guess it’s only lying
If somebody sees

A missing watch still knows the time
An empty bottle like a fly on the wall
A trailer in the upper state
A phone still ringing
It’s the third missed call

Bored out of their minds
Killing some time
And you, you feel it too
That’s why you’re crossing the line
A very fine line
Crossing the line
A very very fine line

Age of Apathy

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
