00:00The track begins with me
00:02The ink is settling, the dust has found its shelf
00:14I wrote my dreams down, I even wrote myself
00:17The pavement taught me lessons that the pen could never spell
00:19Like how a crooked line can sometimes break or fall
00:22And how the hardest truths can make you stand up tall
00:25I traced the constellations and the cracks along the wall
00:28And found my own reflection in the grout between the stones
00:30A mosaic of the broken but I filled back all the bones
00:34This ain't a happy ending, no final curtain call
00:38It's just a recognition that I've weathered through the squall
00:44The pen is for the future, the path I have to chart
00:49The pavement's just the memory I carry in my heart
00:54And in this space between them, I finally understand
01:00It's not about the finishing, it's about the way you stand
01:05To turn the last page over, and with a steady hand
01:09Begin the next chapter of the plan
01:12I closed the book on sleepless nights, the hunger and the dread
01:20But I thanked them for the fire that they'd burned into my head
01:22I blessed the doubt the dog beat, cause it made me run faster
01:25I think the love that found me in the midst of the disaster
01:28The prologue was a question, the chronicles are seen
01:31The skeletons were locks, but now I hold the key
01:33And though the dream was concrete, it was still a living thing
01:36And taught a grounded angel how to use her wings
01:39This ain't a happy ending, no final curtain call
01:43It's just a recognition that I've weathered through the squall
01:49The pen is for the future, the path I have to chart
01:54The pavement's just the memory I carry in my heart
02:00And in this space between them, I finally understand
02:05It's not about the finishing, it's about the way you stand
02:11To turn the last page over, and with a steady hand
02:15Begin the next chapter of the plan
02:18The key to the piano
02:22Dipsy voices sound, almost a whisper
02:24The beat begins to fade, leaving the guitar
02:28The dream still divine
02:30The lies still crooked, but it's mine
02:32The space in between is just life
02:35And the pen is poised
02:37The dream, still divine
02:54The line, still crooked but it's mine
02:57The space in between is just life
02:59And the pen is poised
03:07The space in between is just life
03:11So that I trust
03:13That I trust
03:15That I hope
03:16The space in between
03:16The and the courage
03:18Even if it's money
03:19Listen and listen
03:20itären
03:23Is that more
03:24Of a sec
03:26Of a sec
03:27Of the life
03:29Of a sec
03:30That I wish
03:32Areys
03:32Check
03:33Stay
03:33In
03:34On
