I tied your shoes while you sat and watched the rain Hands folded across your lap And the dull work of paints across your face Mom down the hall Bible pressed to her chest When she swore the Devil hides in everything And her room was the only safe haven left She watched you scrub through our new paints Something in the middle Something in the middle Something in the middle Something's in the way You had held my hand while the wind Whistled our dreams ending time Something in the middle Something in the middle Something in the middle Something's in the way Never knew what it meant to be whole and free Something in the middle Something in the middle Something in the middle Something's in the way Neither one of them moths Stray from these different paths only they can see But sink or swim is all they say Your hand rode the wind out the window of the train We slept in our seats with our knees Curled beneath our dirty chins And I gripped the bags like they might fly away And the scenery beyond the glass was liquid We sat and soaked it in I felt your breath along the way I'd hold your hand when the sky fell apart And you'd hold my hand If you felt us slipping back into the dark Can't tell from the ground if the sky will fall Can't tell from the sky If there's anybody down there at all It's empty empty empty empty play
