About Where Is the Line

"Where Is the Line" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her fifth studio album Medúlla. It was written by the singer herself and co-produced with longtime collaborator Mark Bell. The track was originally intended to be released as the album's third commercial single, but its release was cancelled just before Björk released the Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack, in order to focus all promotional efforts on the film and soundtrack instead. Some promotional white labels vinyls were released around 2005. A music video for the song was made by Icelandic Artist Gabríela Friðriksdóttir. Upon the cancellation of the single, the video was used as part of a video installation project by Friðriksdóttir.

Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you

My purse wide open
You ask again
I see you trying to
Cash into accounts everywhere

Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you

I want to be flexible
I want to go out
Of my way for you
But enough is enough

Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you

I want to be elastic
I want to go
Out of my way for you
I want to help you

Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you

I want to have
Capacity over you
And be elastic
To be elastic, elastic

Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you

Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you

I'm elastic for you

Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
Where is the line with you
