[Intro – Female alto, warm Rhodes, deep bass slowly enters] We were almost something Almost everything Never really over Somewhere in between [Verse 1 – Intimate, conversational] You still know how I take my coffee I still know when something’s wrong We can talk about the weather Like the years haven’t gone You don’t ask if I’m happy I don’t ask if you’re alone Funny how we know each other And still leave so much unknown [Pre-Chorus – Gentle melodic lift] We never said goodbye Never made a scene Just learned to live our lives With a little space between [Chorus – Warm, memorable melody, layered female harmonies] Somewhere in between What we had and what we mean Not a lover, not a friend Not the beginning, not the end Oh, we let it be Something we don’t need to name You and me Somewhere in between [Instrumental – Rhodes melody, rounded bass, gentle guitar] [Verse 2 – Slightly more rhythmic] I don’t wonder where you’re sleeping I don’t wait beside the phone But a song can take me somewhere I haven’t been in so long And I hope that life is kind to you Hope you found a little peace Some people leave you nothing Some leave a part you’ll always keep [Pre-Chorus – Soft rising harmonies] We never needed answers Never needed blame Some things find a place to live Even when they change [Chorus – Fuller, emotional but controlled] Somewhere in between What we had and what we mean Not a lover, not a friend Not the beginning, not the end Oh, we let it be Something we don’t need to name You and me Somewhere in between [Bridge – Strip to bass and Rhodes, close intimate vocal] Maybe in another life Maybe at another time We would’ve found a way But I’m alright And you’re alright Some things are better left that way [Final Chorus – Rich harmonies, gentle emotional release] Somewhere in between What we had and what we mean Not a lover, not a friend Just a feeling without end Oh, we let it be Something we don’t need to name You and me Somewhere in between [Outro – Instruments slowly fall away] Almost something Almost everything Never really over Somewhere in between
