the space between

Dave Matthews Band

You cannot quit me so quickly.
Is 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 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 in
The madness of a roller coaster.
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're smiling high
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 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...
