The Line Between

I remember a cold day in December
When I felt nothing at all
'Cause I stopped feeling anything
The moment that I got the call
And they told me to go to your bedside
All I heard was the echo of a clock
And although life went on around me
For me, everything had stopped

And the stars filled the skies
Like the tears in my eyes

That line between was our everything
All our hopes and dreams and all we thought we knew
That line between held all of our memories
Every step we took and all that we'd been through
From your very first breath
Till the day that you left
In that line between

By the time I walked through the graveyard
A handful of dirt had been thrown
And I knew there was more to your story
Than the two dates written on the stone
There was holding your newborn baby
There was true love and hearing wedding bells
There were road trips till the tank ran empty
All the stories that you loved to tell

And the stars filled the skies
Like the tears in my eyes

That line between was our everything
All our hopes and dreams and all we thought we knew
That line between held all of our memories
Every step we took and all that we'd been through
From your very first breath
Till the day that you left
In that line between

It was dancing in the kitchen during breakfast Sunday mornings
Running from a thunderstorm that didn't give a warning
Laughing so hard we'd always end up crying
Love goes on forever even when you're dying
Love goes on forever, love goes on forever

There are moments I know you're beside me
There are times I wonder where you go
There are nights that I light the candles
'Cause I swear I see your face in the glow
There are days, days that pass so quickly
And some nights feel like eternity
When I close my eyes, you're with me
And our memories are all that I see

And the stars filled the skies
Like the tears in my eyes

That line between was our everything
All our hopes and dreams and all we thought we knew
That line between held all of our memories
Every step we took and all that we'd been through
From your very first breath
Till the day that you left
In that line between
