Between the Lines

V4.5

Author Notes:
For those immersed in a relationship where reading your partner is nearly impossible and fears leave you expecting the worst; we try to savor each breath "Between the Lines" as we prepare ourselves for the worst.

[intro]
I watched your eyes trace silence through the room
Like a lantern caught in the dark, searching for truth
We talk in half-tones, skipping over the notes
But something trembles within me as I brush close to you

[pre-chorus]
Your hand's a whisper I can't quite hold
You smile like you’ve already let go

[chorus]
I’m holding breath between the lines
Seeking meaning hidden in the fading light
One heartbeat from a spark, while I fall apart
You speak in almosts, as I breathe in mights
Still chasing moments when we align
In every breath between the lines (...between the lines)

[Verse 1]
I feel your warmth like rain behind the glass
Soft and near, but fading ohh so fast
We move like dancers running out of time
Your rhythm pulls just leaving me behind

[pre-chorus]
We kiss like strangers with shared dreams
So close, yet trapped amid the in-betweens

[chorus]
I’m holding my breath between the lines
Where silence mourns, hope running out of time
One heartbeat from a flame, or flickering out
You echo truths your lips won’t write
As I chase moments where we align
In every breath between the lines (...between the lines)

[bridge]
Are we ghost light on a stage we’ve known?
Scripting love in these borrowed tones
If I speak, will it all dissolve?
Or will we finally touch what’s gone?

[final chorus]
Still I’m holding my breath between the lines
Where each shadows aches and the meaning shines
One heartbeat from the break, or breaking through
You blink, and I fall into the why
Still chasing moments where we align
In every breath between the lines (...between the lines)
...In every breath between the lines (...between the lines)

[fade to end]
