[Verse 1] I haven't seen my friends in a long, long time In a long, long time Feels like the world has stopped, and I'm losin' my mind And I'm losin' my mind And the thing about the ballgowns and the parties Is they're great but I just miss us getting ready In my room, makin' fools of the night (Mm) [Chorus] It's the quiet before the storm The deep breath before you jump The sigh of relief after the first time I told you that I loved you in the New York lights And the laughter that ends every fight It's the smile behind my brother's eyes When he tells me 'bout another crazy thing he finds It's the ray of sun that hits my face When I'm in a rush to get some place It's the moments in between The moments that I might not see [Verse 2] I know it's been so long (Been so long) since I've held you close Since I've held you close (Mm, hmm-mm) And I hope, I hope you really know I'm never ever lettin' go The next time we're alone, mm And the thing about the bright light and new cities Is they're great but not like rain before a movie Pourin' down on us two runnin' through [Chorus] It's the quiet before the storm (Mm-hmm) The deep breath before you jump (Ooh) The sigh of relief after the first time you told me that you loved me in the New York lights And the laughter that ends every fight It's the smile behind my brother's eyes When he tells me 'bout another crazy thing he finds It's the ray of sun that hits my face When I'm in a rush to get some place It's the moments in between The moments that I might not see [Bridge] And I've been thinkin' about the way you dance How it makes me laugh, mm, hmm-mm And you know just what to do when I'm blue One look at you, ooh, ooh, hmm And daddy always said it was the little things Maybe it's the way he looks when mama sings And now I know Now I know, oh, oh, mm [Outro] Yeah, I've been thinkin' about the moments in between Those moments mean the most to me
