She said life's a lot to think about sometimes
When your living in between the lines
And all of the stars that sparkle and shine
Every day....
He said life's so hard to move in sometimes
When it feels like i'm dawing the line
And no one even cares to ask me why
i feel this way (yea)
Chorus
And I no you feel helpless now
and I know you feel alone
thats the same road
the same road
that i'm on ( yea)
He said life's a lot to think about sometimes
When you keep it all between the lines
everything i want
and i want to find one of these days (yea)
and what you thought was real in life
has somehow steered you wrong
and now you just keep driving
trying to find out where you belong
chorus
what you thought was real in life
has somhow steered you wrong
and now you just keep driving
trying to find out where you belong
chorus
( OH NO NO NO)
When your living in between the lines
And all of the stars that sparkle and shine
Every day....
