In Between Lines

About this track
This song sits in the space where intention is misread and distance isn’t disagreement. It’s about noticing armor appear, recognizing a divergence, and still being subject to attraction — not as romance, but as inevitability. Sometimes the pull isn’t emotional. It’s physical. And sometimes control just exits the conversation. lyrics [Verse 1] You said you’d call when you meant to I smiled like that explained it Timing’s always been flexible Depending who’s waiting [Pre-Chorus] We smirk at what we don’t say Like it’s harmless to leave it there I can tell you’re keeping track I pretend I’m unaware [Chorus] I didn’t promise to move this forward Or leave it behind We’re still somewhere between the lines Not everything needs a sign [Verse 2] You start choosing words more carefully Like they might set something off There’s armor in how you say it now Light enough to sound soft [Pre-Chorus] There’s a version of this That wants a decision I let it pass Without permission [Chorus] I didn’t promise to move this forward Or leave it behind We’re still somewhere between the lines Not everything needs a sign [Outro / Tag] Then you move — nothing deliberate Just a shift I can’t ignore Like something in my orbit Stops being mine to control
