between the lines


the conversation’s over and i claim the world is lost
i’m jumping off the bridge that she’s walking across

nothing makes much sense now tell me i just wanna know
if i want to make her happy why on earth did i tell her no?

just yesterday i was fine
just last night the world was mine
i just try to read between the lines
now i’ve lost my place – my peace of mind

a mumble and she’s gone – too late i bite my tounge
i gasp a breath for pause, but “i’m sorry” fills my lungs

i cannot chase her down as she’s walking away
i cannot call her name, but i whisper, “no, please stay!”

just yesterday i was fine
just last night the world was mine
i just tried to read between the lines
now i’ve lost my place, my piece of mind

nothing makes much sense now
tell me i just wanna know
if i dream to just be near her
how could i let her go?
