Between the Lines
Lyrics
Vs1)
The day a person is born, a legal document is signed to record the date of birth.
The day you're born they sign a piece of paper
This document certifies the official date of the individual's birth.
That will certify the date of your birth
Upon death, another document is signed to confirm the individual's return to the earth.
And the day you die they sign another
This second document serves as proof of the person's passing.
Just to prove you've gone back to the earth
Between these two official records, the essence of life, the truth, is challenging to discover.
And between those two pieces of paper
Exploring the space between birth and death, where the true story of one's life resides.
There is the truth that is so hard to find
Emphasizing the difficulty in finding the genuine truth about a person's life.
And the story of your life is written ', but
The narrative of one's life is documented, but...
You must read in between the lines
To understand it fully, one must discern the subtleties and read between the lines.

As a young person, the significance of actions may not be apparent.
Now when you're young you think it don't matter
Leaping into situations without careful consideration.
If you leap before you look
Contrasting with the wisdom and regret of older individuals who reflect on impulsive choices.
But those old folks are wiser and sadder
Older people are wiser and sadder due to the risks they took in their youth.
From the chances that they took
When an opportunity arises, seize it, but...
Now when your chance comes along, you must take it
Caution is necessary, and one should take the time to make decisions carefully.
Just be careful and take your time
Success is likely if one can navigate and understand the nuances of life.
And the chances are good you will make it
By reading between the lines, one can make informed choices.
If you can read in between the lines

When someone declares their love for you,
And when someone tells you they love you
Claiming unmatched love, it is prudent to...
And no one has ever loved you more
Pause and consider how frequently they've made such proclamations in the past.
It is wise to stop and consider how many
Reflecting on the sincerity of their words and...
Times they might have said that before
Being cautious about potential repetition and insincerity.
Because when love leaves you cryin'
When love ends, leading to tears,
Then you will surely lose your mind
The emotional aftermath may result in a loss of sanity.
And you might have known love was lying
If one could discern the subtleties, it might have been evident that love was deceptive.
If you could read in between the lines
Understanding the complexities of love requires reading between the lines.
Ch)
And when someone tells you they love you
Reiterating the importance of caution in matters of love.
And no one has ever loved you more
Emphasizing the need to assess the sincerity of love declarations.
It is wise to stop and consider how many
Reflecting on the frequency of past expressions of love.
Times they might have said that before
Being wary of repetitive declarations that may lack authenticity.
Because when love leaves you cryin'
Similar to the earlier stanza, caution is advised when love leads to heartbreak.
Then you will surely lose your mind
The emotional toll of lost love can lead to mental distress.
And you might have known love was lying
Recognizing that the signs of deceptive love may have been evident by reading between the lines.
If you could read in between the lines
Understanding love's complexities requires a nuanced interpretation.
