SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

 

 

What if I’m not who I thought I was /  What if my future is more indifference that love

 

What if all roads don’t point towards Rome /What if I never find my way home

 

What if i don’t know where I’m going / What if I don’t remember where I’ve been

 

What if I can’t see the light that you said would always be my guide

 

I’m just somewhere between all of the questions and the answers I need

 

Like a runaway dream I don’t remember, but I’m trying to

 

What if I don’t ever see you again / What if I can not understand

 

What if I try my best to survive / What if I don’t make it out alive

 

What if I quit fighting for it / What if I lose all my faith in this

 

What if I long for the days of my youth when things were more beautiful  than they were true

 

I’m just somewhere between all of the questions and the answers I need

 

Like a runaway dream I don’t remember, but I’m trying to

I’m just somewhere between all of the questions and the answers I need

Like a runaway dream i don’t remember but I’m trying to

 

I need you to meet me in that somewhere, somewhere between

 

I need you to meet me in that somewhere, somewhere between

I need you, oh I need you to meet me   

 

I originally wrote this tune on a guitar, but once it got going it seemed like piano was where it was headed. Like most of the songs I write, the first line was the first line I wrote, and once the song had some sort of direction, I started looking back through old lyrics and title ideas (I have several pages of title ideas in a google doc), and this super random title popped out “Somewhere Between the Questions and the Answers” it seemed like the perfect fit for this song. Once I had that title in place all of the rest of the words just came to me.
