I'm between lines right now/ if you absolutely must know/ I'm still getting used to me/ & a day without your saying so/ & now on Friday nights/ I got a seat at the Guild downtown/ with friends who know my name/ & don't usually mess me around/ if you must know/ I met a boy I can dedicate/ big blue eyes/ & a hand that hesitates/ but if I stared any longer I don't think he'd even care/ cause when he stands before my face/ it's like he's not even there.

(chorus) it's like walking to your house in the melting snow/ live wires above, buried cables below/ go too far & I'm gonna get fried/ so perhaps it's better not to step outside/ cause if you knew the pearls I cried/ at the very thought of your suicide/ which way is up, which way to go?/ I'm in limbo.

I'm between loves right now/ if you're curious at all/ I have this fire to give/ but I'm afraid of taking a fall/ & now when I get down/ I got this guitar strapped to my back/ I got new chords to sound/ a melody for a midnight snack/ if you wonder at all/ I met a boy with scars to match mine/ hurting face/ & his heart in his hand all the time/ but somedays he will cast his life in seconds at my feet/ & other days when our bodies pass/ it's like he can't even see. (chorus)

I'm between lives right now/ if you're dying for me to tell/ a past in my left hand/ & the endless present as well/ & now I'm in this room/ with your picture flaming so strong/ did you leave me alone?/ have I been alone all along?/ if you want me to tell/ there's a boy like a song just for me/ aching tune/ sinuous beat, bitter harmony/ I'll drown in his brown eyes/ & the honesty I can feel/ but the more I look, the more I think/ he might not even be real. (chorus)
