The Years In Between - Jamie Lawson

Quiet conversations

Words that broke the air

Distant observations

Of what was never there

You were asleep in your favourite chair

Lit by the TV screen

These things that I remember

From the years in between

The stereo played Denver

«Rocky Mountain High»

The needle scratched the surface

I wonder if that’s why

I’m still out here trying to work out what it means

Trying to fix what’s broken from the years in between

I wish you could see how far these dreams have come

Would you recognise me from who I was when I was young?

Some say I look a little like you

I left school behind me, moved away to find

If anything could fill this space you left behind

I found someone who holds me, she’s my wife now, she’s my queen

She repairs the heartache from the years in between

I wish you could see how far these dreams have come

Would you recognise me from who I was when I was young?

These days I look a little like you

The last thing I remember

The last time my hands held yours

Medication scattered across the kitchen floor

God, I hope you felt no pain on that amphetamine

Won’t be long 'til I see you

Just a few years in between

It won’t be too long until I see you

Just a few years in between
