Between our Lines

[Verse 1] I stood by the castle, the stone walls were tall, The summer heat shimmering over it all. Inside the white canvas, out of the sun, My heart beating fast, like a race to be won. I gave you a token, a cup with your name, I never imagined you’d feel the same— But you held that keychain through the dark and the debris. An accident's echo, a call in the night, You told me that charm kept the darkness in sight. [Pre-Chorus] Then came the message, the hearts on the screen, The space in between us, the words left unseen. I’m searching for meaning in every "thank you," Wondering if you feel the pull of it, too. [Chorus] "You’re a butterfly," you whispered so low, A truth in a world where we both come and go. "Nothing is the end," was the promise you made, In the light of a moment that refused to fade. A kiss on the cheek, a soft "bye love" in the wind, Tracing the lines where our stories begin. Two different worlds, and a thread made of gold, A story that doesn't need to be told. [Verse 2] I told you I'm leaving, the surface is cold, The same hollow stories that always get told. I can't do the noise or the casual smiles, When my heart has been traveling for thousands of miles. You looked in my eyes, and you didn't say stay, You honored the part of me drifting away. "That’s important for your healing," you said, Soothing the chaos inside of my head. [Bridge] I sent you a photo, the harbor back home, A piece of my silence, a place where I roam. Days drifted by, then I saw the same light, You mirrored my peace in the middle of night. The same quiet water, the same silver skies, A silent reflection for everyone’s eyes. Is it a signal? Or just a coincidence? Building a bridge through the wall of our difference. [Chorus] "You’re a butterfly," you whispered so low, A truth in a world where we both come and go. "Nothing is the end," was the promise you made, In the light of a moment that refused to fade. [Outro] Two different worlds, and a heart in between, Finding the grace in the spaces unseen. A butterfly drifts where the wild wind blows, But nothing truly ends... and everyone knows. [End]
