Thomas Sanders - On The Borderline Lyrics

Voice of an Angel

The first time I heard this. I kept it because it was so beautiful and wonderful but I had no idea I'd relate so much to a song in only a year or two. It makes me feel I'm not alone and it makes me feel abit better. All of you are great keep being you ❤

Joan will always be my hero.

Like...is nobody going to talk about the fact that the video he posted before this is the crofters musical?

I love this song and Thomas, but why do I feel like crying? 😢

*is crying* wha-what? Im not crying *sniffle* you are

I heard a fan song for virgil before this and i was like ong its the same lyrics

Please put Vergil in a bow that Roman gave him

I'm in a bad place in my life and in a bad headapace. I have always repressed my feelings, for years now. I have always said I'm fine and acted happy. I have had anxiety and depression from when I was in 5th grade. I have always hated myself and have always tried to be happy. At some point I just became numb and unfeeling. Then i tried to keep looking happy. Recently, i broke. I couldn't keep it up. All my friends were leaving me behind. It just feels like i disappear. If i don't say that im here, ill be forgotten. My boyfriend of 3 years never cared about me. I realized that after i stopped pretending, when i couldn't anymore. Now my only real friend i could talk to is gone and we cant talk much anymore. My boyfriend gives me my little gifts but doesn't even talk to me anymore. He just ignores me. Whenever we are at a dance he is playing video games or watching something on his phone. I just feel like everything is falling apart. My mom keeps screaming at me. My sister hates me. And my dad ignores it all. My friends forget me and my boyfriend ignores me. This is all my fault isn't it. I don't want to hurt anyone. So ive kept smiling. Well now that's gone too. And nobody pays enough attention to know.
Gifts and words dont fix anything. This song is what helps me when I am having one of those days. Thanks Thomas for all of the things you put out. It helps us all more than you can even imagine.💙

So, I've applied for britans got talent, if i get to the judges auditons. I will, and i promise i will. Sing this song, and Thomas's other song. In those next two rounds. Thomas will probably never see this, but if he does. Thomas this song speaks to me in so many different ways and i love it. Keep making songs like these.

yo;;;
I'm almost crying.
The lyrics are so impactful, and they're sung with the voice of an angel; this is absolutely beautiful.

I like your shirt Thomas 😊

Have you seen his eye lids he looked tiered jeez

Last night I was watching Thomas Sanders vines and I woke up to this song and I fell in love with it and hit me in the heart

Thomas, you have such an amazing voice!! you should do a cover of this is me from greatest showman if you ever have the time, or something. If you dont that's cool, not even sure if you'll ever read this, but Love you!!!💜🖤

"Feelings" 😅🥺😈

Knowing how much ive changed these past 4-5 years had hurt cause my parents or who i thought was my friends wouldn’t ever understand the pain and things i went through the fact thomas brought this out two days before birthday i was happy and listening it to it every day 😂 still do obviously listen to this everyday but i dont think im the only one

why am I so late

The holy trinity:
Thomas the singer, Jamal the musician, and Joan the songwriter

This song is so relevant to me right now. I’m about to finish high school and go into college and right now it feels like I can’t belong in either

Im kinda thick and i think i know the meaning but can somone explain please i dont want to be insensitive

I couldnt understand the message i was to buisy crying wow

I came out because i was playing sims on my faimly xbox and i had 2 girls date. 2 of my parents friends are gay, and so are a huge chunk of the people i first hung out with at secondary school. So it was a safe bet. Im pansexual, but im not attracted by bodies, but personalities. I went through a "phase" where i thought i was bisexual, but realised im just not a steriotypical girl, i dont need short hair to be comfortable. My friends didn't accept it as much, untill i realised i didnt need to be "ary", i can stay my real name. I feel guilty for not having a harder time but i know im lucky and im working to be gratefull. I want to push for equality. Not just for the LGBTQ+ community but everyone, no one should suffer for being unique. Not everone has to be normal. I want to use my experiences to help others and make the world a happier place. A big wish i know but even just your videos have changed my life thomas, i am going to ask my parents if i can go see someone to help me, and its all down to you. thank you.

Cinnamon Roll I have also said that I need to know a person to be attracted to them but I can’t say what my sexuality is because I have never been attracted to anyone yet I like the idea of having someone eventually to be honest I’m not even sure of my gender I’m not quite a girl but I don’t feel like a boy I’ve always said I was a tomboy but I’m not sure I have a few friends who are apart of the LGBTQ+ community but my parents are both straight and all of my family is too they support the community and so do I. I’m just not sure exactly what I am and it causes me pain because I don’t fit in I hide my feelings from everyone hoping that something will come along and help me figure it out but until then i just say I’m a straight tomboy who hasn’t met a person they like yet

How did you finally like understand or know is it just a feeling or is there something that made you go I am this I just want to know I’m really confused?
Maybe I’m just a straight tomboy who is very supportive I don’t know my entire life I have been told I’m a girl and one day I’ll find a husband but I just don’t know and it confuses me I can’t talk to anyone about this because They all think I’m just a happy but slightly depressed person who doesn’t do feelings because I’m so tough they wouldn’t understand that I avoid feelings because I have always been told to not show weakness so now I’ve dug myself into a hole I can’t get out of

@Eevee Fan hey! I was the same, honestly i only know im pan because i know I'd love anyone, but honestly im still trying to figure it out myself. After a while i realized i dont have to be girly to be a girl. Ive only had crushes on guys (both gay and only 1 my age) but like i said, i know id like anyone

Thank you thomas

Who else is listening to this at 1 am while crying?? Just me....? Ok..... :')

Nvm it's now 2 am and im still sad

This was the first new song for me of this decade and I'm glad it was.
Thank you for this eye opener.
Here's hoping for a 2020 full of better years.

Two years later and I still love this song

The "I just want to be home" line hit me hard, if that ain't a mood.

I'm listening to this after, well, failing to cross that borderline. Going to college and failing all my classes, coming back home to be confronted by all my failures as i have to disenroll and deal with the debt along with, well, getting a job and enrolling in community college. It all hurts, and i'd rather not do it but...i have it..


i'm not crying you're crying...

I-


Would it be bad if I wanted to sing this for my high school senior concert?

Kylie Butts that would be so cool and If you really want to go for it it’s a great idea

Listening to this song once really changed my mood my girlfriend broke up with me and this song really makes things known and basically told me to keep fighting in a sense

5:01 Joan?
5:04 JOAN!!!!!!! <3

EVERYONE IS SOOO TALENTED OML IM CRYING

"Yesterday I was eager to see what awaited. I wasn't jaded."
*Joan!*

This is my anthem before I leave for Army boot camp. It's a scary step but it's the next one I've got to take

Raina Adkins that’s so cool my brother went through navy boot camp a few months ago and he said it was hard but he got through and he grew so much because of it

I heard this song on Spotify for sooo long and only now I searched for the video and I'm so glad I did!

This is amazing!!!

Seeking the times I long for once they live me....
I literally just saw the link to this video from Recipe For Me and I started crying from remembering the lyrics so I just had to watch this and dehydrate from crying

Beautiful and touching

Honestly I know you probably won’t see this Thomas but for the incredibly slim chance you do, this song hit really close to home for me. When I was really young I was told I had a deficiency that pretty much made my bones decay while I’m still alive. I was told I was going to die long before everyone else and being a young kid this terrified me. This was considered the beginning of the end for me, and it was considered to be like I was standing in between two things: life to death, and I was terrified. I was told to never change because I wouldn’t have much time anyway. Turns out, it’s 10 years later and I lived so far 6 years longer then I was supposed to. This song represented a lot of thing I couldn’t understand back then but now I can. This song is incredible! Thank you for making it: this was something I needed to hear.

WHERE IS THOMAS AND JOAN'S ALBUM?!

Thomas : Sings ONE word

Me: ahhhhhhh and here come the tears

damn this song made me cry...
but I really needed it, so thank you.

I read somewhere that this song was written by Joan about being trans and is the first song I’ve ever heard about the trans experience and it validated so many feelings I’ve struggled to understand for a long time. I absolutely sobbed and no song has ever elicited that kind of reaction from me before so thank u for this beautiful piece of art

Please never stop doing what you all do. I might have found this a year after it was made but it’s made a difference. At least for me. I’ve been dealing with a horrible cross road in my life. Which I wound get into. This song has been one of the few things that makes me smile in the last couple months. Just thank you for that. All of you. Just thank you

Thomas this is the reason why I love your videos so much you put your heart and soul into things and i just want to thank you for making me smile!

I'm currently at my 7th school. My frien i's at her 10th. I've moved 5 times. My friend has moved more than 10 times. Loved this so much.

This song can really hit you in the feels.

I am originally Irish. When I was 3 years old,I had to move away from my family and I lived in Rio for a year.After this, I lived in Dubai for 5 years. Now I live in Houston and recently my grandad passed away after having type one diabetes,kidney failure,cancer,a foot infection and having his leg amputated. I have now been away from my family (except for my parents and my sister) for more than eight years. I get really homesick and miss them all. I love this video and the comfort it brings to my heart and soul.

I WANNA CRY THIS IS SO GOOD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I wanna hug small thomas. he is so cute.
The song is amazing all if you are a giant gift to this world.

why does he have to be gay? its unfaaaaaaair

i mean i dont think I'd even have a crush on him if he was straight. bring on the sex change!

What difrence would it make if he wasn't?

Because he is? That's how he was born?

I just listened to this and now I'm crying. The lyrics are so good. Wow. eMotIONs

This song is what I’ve been thinking about recently because I’m in my last year of high school and it scares me because I’m on the borderline of my childhood and the rest of my life

The goosebumps!!!

Well I’m hopelessly crushed!

Bro..... you should sing Dear Theodosia from Hamilton you'd wreck it! (in a VERY, VERY AMAZING way!)
☺

This is how many people are Thomas fans
⬇

You are not the same person you were before.




You are so much better.

Video: *Exists*
Me: *SOBS*

I wish I had this when I graduated highscholl

The song is BUEATIFUL🎵🎶🏳️‍🌈🐱

Petition to put this on Broadway with a broadway musical directed by Thomas and starring *Thomas*

Thomas looks so wholesome yet edgy in the childhood videos

No song has brought me to tears this fast, you truly have a talent of putting TRUE emotions into your songs, thank you for sharing you beauty with us. I will always be one of the hundreds of fans you have. God bless you Thomas ♥️

I got all available TS songs on iTunes. Made a playlist. Listened to the songs on repeat for 2 months straight (not even joking) and memorized the songs so I could wing along to them.


Anyone else?

It’s...to beautiful.
Today in English class we had to do something to do with quotes and the quote I chose was, could be gayer.

This song is so peaceful....

we love you thomas

I love everything you sing but this was just amazing it is so beautiful you are truly epic.

Holy sweet Lord this is so beautiful and powerful

Damn what are these wet things in my eyes umm help what are they

This song struck a chord with me. The idea of growing up terrifies me and I'm scared of my own future and whether or not I'll have one. The line, "I just want to be home!" makes me miss my past. Home is not a place for me, it's the time when life wasn't complicated. Sorry if reading this was a waste of time

Just have them write you a record or an EP. If you can't do it alone, do it collaboratively. You have the voice... just SING.

I love this song

This somehow managed to sum up every thought I've had in the last year. I'm happy that I stumbled across this song now instead of when it came out. I wouldn't have been able to appreciate the meaning behind it as well as I can now.

Awe.. a little baby Thomas. Before the sides came..well, Patton and Roman.

Listening to this song while I’m getting to begin life in a brand new country

Am i legally allowed to Make a Cover of this,i dont want to ruin this perfect song

Thomas can you like...sing for all eternity? Your voice is so beautiful 😩

Omg..... This song made me cry, it made me think of when I was younger and all of the good memories I had, this is one of my most favorite songs now and it absolutely touched my heart.

I'm crying. This is beautiful

Bro this song just hits you so hard in the heart

I'm speechless. Absolutely amazing. ❤️💜🧡

Does anyone know what the chords are for this? I would like to try to learn it on guitar.

I'm literally crying

Man...this video made me cry. And I never cry while listening to music. This is how deep it hit me.
Because I can relate. I feel like I'm not myself anymore. I feel like I disappointed my parents. Several times. Even though I may be wrong.

So has your album already come out or...?

I'll cover this..

Oh my gosh... I'm literally crying... It's too beautiful... Sad I guess but beautiful..

Hi, can i please use this for my graduation song because dang

That was absolutely incredible.

Been a year since I first saw this. This song still holds a special place

We can all learn from Joan and their stories. They're great and truly a very cool person

ok everyone's crying by now I assume but if you go to 4:03 and imagine the thomas in the video singing that it just cracks me up

Whoever left a dislike better SQUARE UP

Here I am, fixing my lego castle, listening to this song once again. Oh? What-
**blinks**
What are these drops of liquid? And what's this aching feeling in my chest?

I'm now going into college and none of the people I know are going there, so I'm on the borderline of something new which is quite nerve racking but also awesome

This video needs more views than it has- ;-;

This is my favorite song right now

Nevermind, it's my second

I'm listening to this song for the first time as I'm considering coming out to my school. Thank you for making me feel like my thoughts are justified and I'm not alone.

I personally relate to this song so much at the moment being in my last few years of high school and the situation I'm in at home. I'm only 16 but I feel like I'm always looking ahead so much into my last years of school coming up and knowing that I'm going to have to move out as soon as I finish school because I can't stay in the transphobic environment I'm currently in. I'm looking forward to getting out and making a more free future for myself but I'm also terrified because I feel I'll be way too young to deal with moving out and all that stuff. I really feel like I'm on the borderline and it truly is petrifying.

@Marren Lee Thank you! Same goes for you in whatever you're doing in your life :)
