The Space Between

[Intro] (piano solo, middle register, rubato) [Verse 1] You never said it I never asked We lived inside The almost said Close enough to feel Too far to hold The space between us Had its own warmth [Pre-Chorus] Not quite together Not quite apart The distance had A shape I knew [Chorus] The space between Was where we lived Not close enough To call it love Not far enough To call it gone The space between Was everything [Verse 2] I learned your silences Before your words The way you paused Before the truth I never told you That I knew Some things are safer Left unspoken [Pre-Chorus] Not quite together Not quite apart The distance had A shape I knew [Bridge] Maybe that was The only way To keep it From becoming ordinary The space between us Kept it whole [Final Chorus] The space between Was where we lived Not close enough To call it love Not far enough To call it gone The space between Was all we needed [Outro] (piano fade, high register)
