The Space Between - Lyrics by Dave Matthews


Lyrics

you cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner y'could squeeze me
But i've got all the time for you, love

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

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 us safe from the pain

Will i hold you again?
Will i hold you...

Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like the 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
Where you'll find me if i get to go
The space between, the bullets in our fire fight
Is where i'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The space between, our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
'cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need dear
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 a space we'll fill with time
The space between...
