Illy - The Space Between lyrics

This a song about life, and all the space at the heart of it Between what we can't predict and what we can't forget Went from on the bus to on stage at the arias sh*t, I guess growing up's a part of it Turned a bandwagon to a tour bus Had to put in leg work, it ain't a small jump Highlight reel like I fantasised that And life like the train wheels on Frankston line tracks Gotta roll with it, ain't always easy but it's easier than throwing it in Dust yourself down, go again Sometimes life remindyou so you don't forget Sometimes just surviving is a show of strength I went number 1, partied, woke up, and went to work on the next Cause you earn what you get But fu*k ballin, my measure of success Was when mum retired I could promise her she'd never need to stress Someway somehow it all worked out A 'lotta hard lessons but they're sure learnt now Me and Southside Melbourne are always bound No matter where on this little blue ball I'm found Never needed y'all to say I'd do it, cause I knew it You get what you give, and I gave my life to it And if I had the time over again I'd do it all, yeah, every last thing, yeah, every last thing Ah man, what a trip what a trip Guess I could, guess I did, so Tell 'em it can wait it ain't over nowhere close Nah man, don't you blink, don't you blink Cause you could miss, yeah you could miss All the things that matter most, so pour up cause Here's to where we going And where we been And everything still waiting In the space between Do you remember? I told ya long time ago That when I get there you'll know And I ain't there yet, I'm still down for the ride, so imma roam I'll see you where the rubber meet the road People asking where you been, between here and now and there and then Where to start, fell apart, and rebuilt again Got a few less friends, got back a brother So my other brother got married with two best men Lost love, yeah and fell back in Wrote the album, rewrote the whole album, rewrote it again I gave my all cause Brig said like hell I'd quit Years from now these the stories I'll tell my kids And yeah, this the truth Whole country had my back when I only had a voice So, this for you A man now but I swear imma always be your boy I grew up in front your eyes My stories right there between highs and bottom lines But we're so fixated on making our time count Chasing dreams nearly forgetting it's right now And these are times we don't get to have twice So one day we can sit back, talk about our lives, and All that we did, and how far we done came Maybe one day, but not today Ah man, what a trip what a trip Guess I could, guess I did, so Tell 'em it can wait it ain't over nowhere close Nah man, don't you blink, don't you blink Cause it goes quick, yeah it goes quick And it's gone before you know, so pour up cause Here's to where we going And where we been And everything still waiting In the space between Everything we got and all we gained Everything we lost along the way Every path has its price In between beginnings and the ends Between regrets and everything ahead There's so much left to write So here's to where we going And where we been And everything still waiting In the space between Here's to where we going And where we been And everything still waiting In the space between
