Between The Lines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Between the lines, that's wond'rin' what to say, when you ain't
sayin' nothin',
Between the lines, that's thinkin' about the silence that hides
behind your smile,
Between the lines, that's walkin' on eggshells that whisper keep
your footing,
Between the lines, that's watchin' what you're doin', pretendin'
to be blind.
The truth is just a shadow, you can never pin it down,
And the words are always hollow, never yes or no, they're in the
middle ground.
CHORUS:
Between the lines! Between the lines!
Between the lines! Between the lines!
Between the lines. Between the lines.
Between the lines, that's tryin' to guess the meanin', when
there ain't none to begin with,
Between the lines, that's waitin' for the warlord to drop the
other shoe,
Between the lines, that's wond'rin' why the answer is just
another question,
Between the lines, that's thinkin' about the shotgun that's
lookin' straight at you.
I was just a shadow, and I never made a sound.
But how can you be livin', when you're just standin' there on
the middle ground.
CHORUS
Between the lines! Between the lines!
Between the lines! Between the lines!
Between the lines! Between the lines!
Between the lines! Between the lines!
Between the lines.
