Verse 1
We all arrive, we all move on
A first hello, a final song
Those two things wait at either side
But they’re not where we spend our lives
It’s in the songs that take us back
The names we thought we’d lost track of
The little moments passing by
That somehow end up being life
Pre-Chorus
We count the years by milestones
The places that we’ve been
But all the things that matter most
Were hiding in between
Chorus
Somewhere in the between
Not at the start, not at the end
In every song, in every friend
In every place we’ve ever been
Somewhere in the between
The ones who left, the ones who stayed
The little memories we made
That’s where a life is really lived
Somewhere in the between
Verse 2
Sometimes a song becomes a place
One note can bring back every face
A name you haven’t said in years
Can make a whole old world appear
Some stay with us for all our days
Some disappear along the way
And sometimes those we barely knew
Still leave a piece of them with you
Pre-Chorus
The places that we’ve been before
Never really disappear
And sometimes one forgotten word
Can stay with you for years
Chorus
Somewhere in the between
Not at the start, not at the end
In every song, in every friend
In every place we’ve ever been
Somewhere in the between
The ones who left, the ones who stayed
The little memories we made
That’s where a life is really lived
Somewhere in the between
Bridge
Some of us are building
The life we hoped we’d find
Some of us are starting over
Trying to make things right
Some of us are holding on
Just trying for tomorrow
But none of us live at the start
And none of us live at the close
We live inside the conversations
The laughter and the calls
The ordinary little moments
That turn out not so small
Final Chorus
Somewhere in the between
Not at the start, not at the end
In every stranger, every friend
In every place we’ve ever been
Somewhere in the between
The songs, the names, the ones who stayed
The old friends we should call someday
That’s where a life is really lived
That’s where life happens
That’s where we’ve been
That’s where we are
Somewhere…
in the between
Outro
Maybe there are memories
We haven’t made just yet
Maybe there are people
We haven’t even met
Maybe there’s still more to come
Before we reach the end
Somewhere out there waiting
Somewhere in the between
