Between Here And Gone

Tonight the moon came up, it was nearly full

Way down here on earth, I could feel it's pull

The weight of gravity or just the lure of life

Made me want to leave my only home tonight

Now I'm just wonderin' how we know where we belong

Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet's song?

Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong

Should I find myself between here and gone?

Now I could grab my keys, clear out in my truck

With every cent on board bringing me their luck

An' I could drive too fast like a midnight sleeve

As if there was a way to outrun the grief

Now I'm just wonderin' how we know where we belong

In a song that's left behind, in the dream I couldn't wake from

Could I've felt the brush of a soul that's passing on

Somewhere in between, here and gone?

Up above me, wayward angels

A blur of wings and grace

One for courage, one for safety

One for just in case

I thought a light went out but now the candle shines

I thought my tears wouldn't stop then I dried my eyes

And after all of this, the truth that holds me here

Is that this emptiness is something not to fear

Yeah, I'll keep wondering how we know where we belong

After all the journey's made and the journey's yet to come

When I feel like giving up instead of going on

Somewhere in between

Yeah, I'm just wondering how we know where we belong

Is it in the arc of the moon leaving shadows on the lawn?

In the path of fireflies and a single bird at dawn

Singing in between, here and gone
