In Between - Parker Millsap

After you’re through laughing but before you start to cry

Felt like it weren’t lasting so you gave it one last try

And now the worst has happened, but you haven’t said goodbye

Ain’t it mean, the in between?

Once the day is done for but before the sun goes out

After you were unsure but before you have your doubts

Venom fills your tongue but just before your lungs can shout

You come clean in the in between

Just below the rubber but just above the ground

Ain’t it just like water to take you where you’re bound

Once you’ve lost your traction before the crashing sound

Of machines you’re in between

Once the summer’s over before the leaves have changed

Got rid of the sofa but you haven’t rearranged

Once you’re clean and sober the normal feels so strange

It’s obscene the in between

After the conception but before the veil is torn

After disconnection but before you leave this form

After last inspection but before you’ve been reborn

It’s serene the in between
