[Verse 1] I got two boxes packed And the rent still bites The numbers in the bank Look thin under the light You say we can make it If we move like rain But the road costs money And money's got my name [Pre-Chorus] Mama says, go on Take your open sky Papa says, stay here Keep your roots in line I'm standing in the doorway With my hands half tied Trying to choose a future While the walls lean wide [Chorus] Between two shores, I'm torn Between two shores, I stay One door calls me onward One holds me in place Between two shores, I'm torn (Between two shores) I keep my head above While the water creeps in [Verse 2] You lay out the map Like a prayer on wood Say the next small town Could be better than good But gas and first month And the cracked old car Make a simple dream Feel twice as far [Pre-Chorus] Mama says, go on Don't fold your wings Papa says, stay near Where the old porch swings I'm holding your hand But my fear won't leave It sits in my pocket Like a heavy key [Chorus] Between two shores, I'm torn Between two shores, I stay One door calls me onward One holds me in place Between two shores, I'm torn (Between two shores) I keep my head above While the water creeps in [Bridge] If I choose the wind Will I lose the flame? If I choose the known Will I wear the same chain? You pull me close Say, "We'll build what we need" But my mother's blessing And my father's plea Are both a bell That keeps ringing in me [Final Chorus] Between two shores, I'm torn Between two shores, I stay One door calls me onward One holds me in place Between two shores, I'm torn (Between two shores) I keep my head above While the water creeps in Between two shores, I'm torn Between two shores, I stay I'll step where I can Till the dark gives way Between two shores, I'm torn (Between two shores) I keep my head above While the water creeps in
