The Spaces Between

[Intro] [Verse] The nights between the tests and classes Trying hard to figure out who we'd become Cheap apartments and borrowed couches Learning life before it had begun Late night drives with nowhere waiting Maps unfolded across our knees The destination never mattered Half as much as the company Every wrong turn made a memory Every detour wrote another story We spent so much time chasing milestones Never seeing what happened to the glory [Pre-Chorus] And looking back now I finally see [Chorus] The good stuff lands In the spaces between Between the plans Between the dreams Not at the finish line Not on the day you leave The good stuff lands In the spaces between Whoa-oh-oh-oh The spaces between [Verse] Then came little shoes by the doorway Tiny hands reaching up for mine School plays, scraped knees, kitchen laughter Building a life one day at a time Working late and paying all the bills Trying hard to keep it all afloat Never knowing those ordinary moments Would become the ones with the best stories Birthday candles and bedtime reads Saturday mornings and backyard swings We spent years chasing bigger pictures While it all happened in between [Pre-Chorus] And looking back now I finally see [Chorus] The good stuff lands In the spaces between Between the plans Between the dreams Not at the finish line Not on the day you leave The good stuff lands In the spaces between Whoa-oh-oh-oh The spaces between [Bridge] Not the trophies Not the headlines Not the moments everybody sees It's the laughter It's the late nights It's the people standing next to me [Verse] Now the grandkids echos fill our hearts And the years move slower than before Mountain trails and family trips Still finding reasons to explore The work is done but life keeps moving New memories waiting to be made And every sunrise feels a little sweeter When you learned what mattered anyway The milestones come and go forever Like signs along a winding road But the moments that define a lifetime Are the ones we never planned at all [Final Chorus] The good stuff lands In the spaces between Between the plans Between the dreams Not at the finish line Not on the day you leave The good stuff lands In the spaces between Whoa-oh-oh-oh The spaces between Whoa-oh-oh-oh The spaces between [Outro]
