Name: Between The Lines
Duration: P00H04M14S
Description: "Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness." I've always loved this quote from Maya Angelou and how she paints a picture of hiding inside of music. I wanted to take the same idea but write a song about hiding inside a letter from loved one from the past.

lyrics

Between The Lines
Words & Music by William Hayden

Today I opened a box of yesterday
Found the letters you wrote to me
They took me back to another place
Where our footprints used to be
I walked around inside your letters
Crawled between the words inside
Just want to stay where life seems better
Where I can leave this world behind
Where I can hide between the lines
And turn my back to today
Where it’s you I can find, between the lines
Blue skies and lazy days
Did the sun really move that slow?
Now when time seems to slip away
There’s a place that I can go
I can crawl inside your words
And find shelter from the pain
I can walk between the lines
And be near you, just one more time again
I can hide between the lines and turn my back to the pain
Because it’s you I can find
Where I hide between the lines and turn my back to today
Because it’s you I can find between the lines
Today I opened a box of yesterday
