[Verse 1]
I haven't seen my friends in a long, long time
In a long, long time
Feels like the world has stopped, and I'm losin' my mind
And I'm losin' my mind
And the thing about the ballgowns and the parties
Is they're great but I just miss us getting ready
In my room, makin' fools of the night (Mm)

[Chorus]
It's the quiet before the storm
The deep breath before you jump
The sigh of relief after the first time I told you that I loved you in the New York lights
And the laughter that ends every fight
It's the smile behind my brother's eyes
When he tells me 'bout another crazy thing he finds
It's the ray of sun that hits my face
When I'm in a rush to get some place
It's the moments in between
The moments that I might not see

[Verse 2]
I know it's been so long (Been so long) since I've held you close
Since I've held you close (Mm, hmm-mm)
And I hope, I hope you really know
I'm never ever lettin' go
The next time we're alone, mm
And the thing about the bright light and new cities
Is they're great but not like rain before a movie
Pourin' down on us two runnin' through
[Chorus]
It's the quiet before the storm (Mm-hmm)
The deep breath before you jump (Ooh)
The sigh of relief after the first time you told me that you loved me in the New York lights
And the laughter that ends every fight
It's the smile behind my brother's eyes
When he tells me 'bout another crazy thing he finds
It's the ray of sun that hits my face
When I'm in a rush to get some place
It's the moments in between
The moments that I might not see

[Bridge]
And I've been thinkin' about the way you dance
How it makes me laugh, mm, hmm-mm
And you know just what to do when I'm blue
One look at you, ooh, ooh, hmm
And daddy always said it was the little things
Maybe it's the way he looks when mama sings
And now I know
Now I know, oh, oh, mm

[Outro]
Yeah, I've been thinkin' about the moments in between
Those moments mean the most to me
