The Space Between Us

instrumental

verse 1

We searched for the moment

everything changed

Turned through the memories

again and again

There wasn't a warning

nothing gave way

Just something between us

taking its place

We started assuming

before we would ask

Made every small difference

harder to pass

Nobody chose it

nobody knew

How little it takes

to alter the view

pre-chorus

It felt familiar

It felt like habit

The drift

We let it happen

chorus

Something lives in the space between us

Growing from all we leave unresolved

No sudden arrival, no single decision

Just smaller concessions adding up

We kept speaking but stopped understanding

Held to our sides and called it enough

Something lives in the space between us

And every division is feeding it now

instrumental

verse 2

An innocent question

was taken as blame

A passing reaction

was carried away

We stopped asking plainly

what someone meant

Then built our conclusions

on what wasn't said

Each disagreement

needed a side

Every discussion

needed to decide

Nobody wanted

to push anyone out

We simply stopped giving

the benefit of doubt

pre-chorus

It felt so normal

It felt automatic

The drift

We let it happen

chorus

Something lives in the space between us

Growing from all we leave unresolved

No sudden arrival, no single decision

Just smaller concessions adding up

We kept speaking but stopped understanding

Held to our sides and called it enough

Something lives in the space between us

And every division is feeding it now

bridge

We searched for the moment

everything changed

There wasn't one

Only countless moments

too small to remember

A question avoided

A kindness withheld

A judgment accepted

before it was earned

Nothing seemed large enough

to matter alone

Together

it became everything

final chorus

Something lives in the space between us

Built from the things we leave unresolved

No single offender, no single decision

Just all of us giving a little too much

We kept speaking but stopped understanding

Certain our side had already won

Something lives in the space between us

Because we allowed it to become one
