BETWEEN STRAIGHT LINES

THE SUN SHONE BRIGHT AND BLINDING
THE DAY A SHINING EXAMPLE
OF ALL THAT'S GOOD
ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT I'D EXPECT
AND MORE I DIDN'T AT ALL
THIS COULD BE SOME KIND OF REVELATION
SOME KIND OF WINDOW OPENED WIDE
FOR ME TO GO INSIDE
SEEMS I HAVE TO HEED THE CALL
STARE BACK OUT AT WHAT I MISSED
UNTIL I FIND IT I PERSIST
chorus
THERE WERE TIMES
BETWEEN STRAIGHT LINES
THAT I COULD SEE
ACROSS THE OPEN SKY
ALAS I NEVER KNEW I HAD THE KEY
THE UNIVERSE WOULD OPEN UP TO ME
I TOOK AWAY WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ALL I NEEDED
GUESS I CAME AWAY A LITTLE SHORT
I NEVER HAD A BACKUP PLAN OF ANY SORT
WINGS AND PRAYERS
ITS HOW I GOT HERE
WINGS AND PRAYERS
TO BRING ME BACK
SOMETIMES I STRAY TOO FAR
UNTIL I LOSE MY WAY
UNTIL I HEAR HER SAY MY NAME
BRINGS ME BACK TO NOW
I LOOKED AND LOOKED
BUT I COULDN'T FIND THAT WINDOW AGAIN
DEFEATED DENIED
I COULDN'T IF I TRIED
