Between The Lines Lyrics - Between The Lines - Janis Ian

There's never much to say between 

The moments of our games and repartee 

There's never much to read between 

The lines of what we need and what we'll take 

There's never much to talk about or say aloud 

But say it anyway 

Of holidays and yesterdays 

And broken dreams that somehow slipped away 

In books and magazines of how to be 

And what to see while you are being 

Before and after photographs 

Teach how to pass from reaching to believing 

We live beyond our means on other peoples' dreams 

And that's succeeding 

Between the lines of photographs, I've seen the past 

It isn't pleasing

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So strike another match 

We'll have another cup of wine 

And dance until the evening's dead 

Of too much song and time 

There's never much to talk about 

Or read between the lines 

Of what we dream about when we're apart 

And no one's looking on to say "you're mine" 

It was a good year then. It was a good year then 

We all remember the time you threw the looking glass 

And seemed a fool, or very clever 

Don't spoil it all. I can't recall 

A time when you were stuck without an answer 

We'll live a quiet peaceful time between the lines 

And go together

And I'm striking up the band 

To play our last hurrah 

We'll dance until we've killed another evening off 

Don't think of anyone but me 

I'll have no lovers on the side 

Tonight is all we ever dreamed about 

For once, let's get it right 

We'll go down flying in the end 

Throw another bottle in between the lines 

We'll go down like a ship of state 

Let's be gracious now 

Between the lines
