The Between

from Rambling Stranger by Lucy Isabel

/

lyrics

Do you still feel
The same way
That you felt
When you were twelve,
And livin’ in your parents’ house?

It ain’t me
That you need
To impress
With your best.
Take a breather and think for yourself.
Are you doing this for someone else?

Well, I failed out of school,
And I let my head hang.
And I never went back.
And I thought I knew shame.
I didn’t know nothing.
Could be I still don’t.
But there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.
Yeah, there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.

So, if you’re
Hanging around
With your ear
To the ground
Do you know if you’re wasting your time?

All those books
On the shelf,
And you’re kidding
Yourself
If you’re thinking you’re doing just fine.
Cross your fingers and hope for a sign.

So, you spend your whole life
In that gray, sunless room.
All the people around
In that plexiglass tomb,
And everyone hates it.
But you think you’re alone.
‘Cause there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.
Yeah, there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.

And a three-quarter moon
In the not-quite-night sky
Can’t help much,
Can’t show you the way.
So you twiddle your thumbs
And you ask yourself why
It seems nothing is going your way.

So you give them your time
Just to try to fit in.
And you’re grasping at straws,
Will you sink down or swim?
And does it all matter?
Do you even know?
Is there something between
Hitting big and just going home broke?
Oh, there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.

~Instrumental~

So just throw it away.
Turn your face to the wind.
Let it all come what may,
It ain’t yours to defend.
You’re out on your own now.
So let them all know
That there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.
Oh, there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.
Yeah, there’s something between
Hitting big and just going home broke.
