between one thing and another

owing to some fairly fundemental (but good) changes going on I woke up yesterday feeling very ‘in between.’ I sort of pieced this together in my head then went into Lauries bedroom to borrow her little guitar and see if I could find some chords for it. Went for a swim for a couple of hours, came back and did this recording – Bam! – I love a quick turnaround!
Anyway as I can’t hear anything too awful about it – thought I’d stick it on here – what’s a blog for anyway?

I wash my face
I scratch my head
I shave my chin go back to bed
I am between

between decision and result
after the skid
before the crunch
I am between

what I am is pushing into something I could be
I cut the cord umbilicus
and now I’m falling free

between the hammer and the nail
it’s not a pass
it’s not a fail
I am between

between the spaces in the words
I’m strictly straight
and cryptic curved
I am between

what I am is pushing into something I could be
I cut the cord umbilicus
and now I’m falling free

I know completion is a lie
when something finishes it dies
we are between

but here between the earth and sky
to take a jump
and try to fly
we are between

what we are is pushing into something we could be
they cut the cord umbilicus
and now we’re falling free

we are between
we are between
one thing and another
one thing and another
we are between
