Starwell - The Spaces In Between

Scraped knees and secret hideouts in the pines
We were kings of a world we designed
You had that yellow bike, I had the grass-stained jeans
Just two shadows living out our childhood dreams
But the seasons turned and the colors started to fade
We got swept away by the choices that we made
​
I remember the day your moving truck pulled out
Leaving a silence that I couldn't scream about
High school halls and different towns grew wide
We buried those memories deep down inside
Just a name on a screen, a face I used to know
Watching the years go by, watching the distance grow
​
But look at us now, standing in the light
After all the lonely years and the quiet nights
We were lost in the static, miles and miles apart
But the map was always written on my heart
It’s not a comeback, it’s a brand new start
From the sandbox to the soul, we finally found our part
​
I saw you at that coffee shop on 5th and Main
I recognized your eyes through the window pane
The boy I was is gone, but the man I am can see
The girl you knew is exactly who I’m meant to be
Falling in love with the person you became
​
And look at us now, standing in the light
After all the lonely years and the quiet nights
We were lost in the static, miles and miles apart
But the map was always written on my heart
It’s not a comeback, it’s a brand new start
From the sandbox to the soul, we finally found our part
​
They say you can’t go home again...
But maybe home isn't a place, it’s a friend.
No more "what ifs," no more looking back
We’re the missing pieces, clicking on the track!
Still that boy with the grass-stained jeans...
Still that girl from your childhood dreams...

I found you.
I found you.
Finally.
