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 keeps us coming back for more The space between The wicked lies we tell And hope to keep us safe from the pain But will I hold you again? These fickle, fuddled words confuse me Like 'Will it rain today?' Waste the hours with talking, talking These twisted game we play We're strange allies With warring hearts What 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 Look at us spinning out 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 tickled 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 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 here 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
