Lyrics
Between The Lines
all her friends wear sneakers
but she wears heels
when she feels like running wild
she wears a dress with no sleeves
for the first day of spring
when it's forty degrees outside
she laughs out loud when she tickles me
and she closes her eyes like a child
she writes poems that speak
for the loners she meets
in the corners of her mind
she's crazy and she knows it
she says Life is unreal, so what's the big deal?
she?s livin? between the lines?
her room is all littered
with the couplets she?s scribbled
on matchbooks and napkins from lunch
she writes it all down
like a Revelation
in words that may only come once
she keeps time with this guy
so quiet and blonde
he plays drums in a rock'n'roll band
she doesn't hold tight
?cause she likes the chills
that spark from hand to hand
she's crazy and she knows it
she says Life is unreal, so what's the big deal?
she?s livin? between the lines
eyes so sad and true
so wise and crazy, too...
such a wild ride she?s been through
livin? between the lines
livin? between the lines?
