between the lines. by orange

Last week I came across this little gem on Pandora.  Then I went to the website of this artist - and fell kind of in love with all the pink/seashell glitter on the site.

I'm not exactly sure why I can't get this song out of my head, perhaps the piano, perhaps the lyrics - but whatever it is - I'm hooked.  And happy to hear another song from this artist other than Love Song.

Between The Lines by Sara Bareilles




Lyrics:

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
The opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times.

My memory is cruel
I’m queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn I’d heard him say it ten thousand times
If only I had been listening.

CHORUS
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened

You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines

I thought I was ready to bleed
That we’d move from the shadows on the wall
And 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’ve learned to listen through silence.

CHORUS
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened

You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I’ll talk until the conversation doesn’t stay on
Wait for me I’m almost ready
When he meant let go.

CHORUS
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened

You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines.
