Space Between

You cannot quit me so quickly
There’s no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love

The space between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter that keeps us coming back for more
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain

But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like ‘will it rain today?’
We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we’re playing

We’re strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you be
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold….

Look at us spinning off
The madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like a devil

In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don’t take this ship down

The space between
Where you smile and hide
Is where you’ll find me if I get to go
The space between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I’ll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into me.

The space between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
‘Cause we’re walking on out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need yes

The space between
What’s wrong and right
Is where you’ll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we’ll fill with time
The space between.
