Thin Line Lyrics - Power In Numbers - Jurassic 5

Yo, this is a lesson in friendship, the depths of a kinship 

What women and men begin with, and then slip 

My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips of emotion 

A fraction, seduction, attraction, eruption of passion 

Corrupts if a lasted friendship's involved 

But love to cross the line but that's why we built these walls 

We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine 

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line 

I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time 

Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line 

Opposites attract when the female and male come in contact 

Sticky situation in fact, tryin' not to let the feelin's catch 

But there's a thin line between both of y'all so you respect that 

And entertain the idea, but get brought back to reality 

And could you really live with that? Decision, based on intuition 

You love and keep your distance, hug and kiss in friendship 

An ongoin' kinship, we was people to begin with 

Disrespect was not intended but your feelin's sparked the sentence 

Sometimes you're too intense in your quest to invent 

The perfect man, please understand, my rhyme is your repent 

I been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine 

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line 

I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time 

Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line 

We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine 

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line 

I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time 

Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line 

Man, too bad that we became friends first 

And I'm not an expert on how relationships should work 

But from the minute it as known 

It changed the whole tone on how we spoke on the phone 

Yo, it was cool but I felt it wasn't enough 

And I was stuck when your moms would pick it up 

Over you, all my buddies would swoon 

But I felt we were in tune, you let me up in your room, damn 

But to me girl, you're still off limits 

No matter all the times that I hit it, yo, whatchu doin' after this? 

Infatuation was authentic, but yo I just pretended 

So I wouldn't lose the friendship 

Maybe, I should spill all my guts 

Or write a letter, then tear it up 

Or do a song, just to say, "What's up? 

I want just a touch" 

I been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine 

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line 

I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time 

Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line 

We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine 

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line 

I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time 

Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line 

I can't do this anymore, see my heart just spills out 

When you walk in the door, friendship turns into lust 

And this only tip that I can't comprehend even if I knew it 

Can't do justice to these things that I'm feelin' 

You got someone else, don't wanna be caught stealin' 

Hell, if she knew, she would never leave us alone in the room 

Yo, this was a lesson in friendship, I stress in this sentence 

Should women and men be friends first and then slip? 

My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips of devotion 

Opposites attract and best friends make a perfect match 

If you only knew that once you cross, ain't no turnin' back 

The minute you let him in it and he hit that, that's that 

We was people to begin with, but you was too relentless 

Jeopardizin' kinship, respect is intended, resolve is my intent 

While we got it in, I'm tryin' to salvage a friendship 

I been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine 

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line 

I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time 

Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line 

We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine 

Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line 

I love you like you was mine, I think about you all the time 

Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line
