"Between the Lines"

Time to tell me the truth; To burden your mouth for what you say - no pieces of paper in the way.
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
these opposite sides on which we fall
loving you later as if at all


no right minds could wrong me 
this many times


my memory is cruel
queen of attention to details defending intentions if he fails.
'til now he told me her name
it sounded familiar in a way that i could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times,
oh, if only i had been listening


leave unsaid unspoken
eyes wide shut unopened
you and me always between the lines
between the lines


i thought i, thought i was ready to bleed
and we move from the shadows on the wall; 
stand in the center of it all.
Too late, two choices: to stay or to leave.
Mine was so easy to uncover-
he'd already left with the other


so i learn to listen through silence


leave unsaid unspoken
eyes wide shut unopened
you and me 
always between the lines


i tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
i talk until the conversation doesn't stay on "wait for me; i'm almost ready" when he met that girl


leave unsaid unspoken
eyes wide shut unopened
you and me always be
you and me always between the lines
between the lines

Train

Maybe I'm not but you're all I've got left to believe in
Don't give up on me,
I'm about to come alive
**


And every word I didn't say caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss...
I'll wrap them all up in your kiss and pick you up and all of this when I sail away


When I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here...

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken 
Your best friend always stickin up for you- even when I know you're wrong
do you remember that first-dance-freeze-dried-romance

five hour phone conversation, the best soy latte that you ever had and me
(favorite song. maybe ever?)
