Story Behind The Song
I heard a poem with the line:
"The space between contradictions"
and I knew right then, that I had to write MY own song
on this concept.
Art begets art!
Song Description
We don't always have to have a solid opinion on everything.
It's OK to sill not be sure.
People are becoming more polarized and this means no one is listening to each other.
True understanding comes from being in the space between the extremes and trying

Lyrics
VERSE 1
Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
Sometimes I don't know just why
Sometimes I'm fun, sometimes mean
But, there's another face I've seen
VERSE 2
I've been known to join, been known to hide
Been known to take the Devil's side
I've been all over this emotional scene
Been high, low and between
CHORUS
I'm not always the steady kind
Some might say it's an affliction
But, I find peace down inside
Where I lack deep conviction
In the space between my contradictions
VERSE 3
I choose to spend, I choose to save
Choose to leave, choose to stay
I choose red and I choose blue
But, sometimes neither will do
VERSE 4
Give me space, give me a shout
Give me time to figure it out
Give me choices to hand onto
And I'll take this crazy ride with you
CHORUS
But, I'm not always the steady kind
Some might say it's an affliction
But, I find peace down inside
Where I lack deep conviction
In the space between my contradictions
In the space between my contradictions
