[Verse 1]
Brace yourself, brother
The words I speak will be hard to swallow
You're breaking into pieces
There ain't no easy way to break it down

[Pre-Chorus]
It was nice to know ya and it's nice you care
But it seems like a waste of my time
We could live together in a house upon a hill
But I'm still waiting for a reply

[Chorus]
Keep between the lines
Keep between the lines

[Verse 2]
Get yourself together
It'll bring you back around with the others
Find your motivation
There ain't no easy way to make it out
When you broke down on the highway
It showed me just how far you're gonna dive
You know they're happy for ya
But you got to shake the demons of the night

[Pre-Chorus]
You're falling further away
Come back before your heart stops beating for me
I'm asking that if you're not ready to die
Why can't you see what's written in between the lines?

[Chorus]
You don't get the picture, guess I have to say it
The more you'll give, the less you have to take it
If you were towing all down on the line
Then you won't have to fake it, we've already made it
Keep between the lines
Keep between the lines

[Pre-Chorus]
It doesn't have to be this way
I want to tell you everything will be ok
You're making this the hardest thing I've had to say
Pick yourself up right now, don't drag this out

[Chorus]
Don't you get the picture? Guess I have to say it
The more you'll give, the less you have to take it
If you were towing all down on the line
Then you won't have to fake it, we've already made it
Keep between the lines
