Between the Lines Lyrics by Arielle Jacobs, Jake David Smith

Between the Lines

2023

[VERSE (DELILAH)]
Life's weird
Seventeen's weirder
And I'm stuck, I'm stuck for one more year
So I need a place to get away
Escape with Wolfe or Hemingway
OK, fine
I know that it's risky
But out here, out here my mind is clear
Till I fix it on this fairytale
That's like hashtag epic fail
[Chorus (DELILAH)]
But between the lines
There's a place where I feel free
And the world is somehow quiet when it's just the moon and me
And there's a guy who I relate to
Someonе I'd like to know
Between the linеs
That's where I wanna go
[SPOKEN (DELILAH, OLIVER)]
I wish you were real...
Hellooo!
AAH!
Did you see my message?
On page 59?
You noticed... she noticed!
Okay, okay - let me explain
[VERSE (OLIVER)]
I play a prince
And I wear tight tights
I'm scared of dragons, trolls, abnormal moles and high heights
But it's my job
To save the princess
So I do it well, I have to tell the tale!
I have a sword
I've never used it
One time I tried, I hit my bottom and I bruised it
I use my brain
To beat the villain
The story needs heroic leads like me!
[CHORUS (OLIVER)]
But between the lines
I don't have to act the part
So I live for all the moments
Before I'm right back at the start
If I could leave these pages
I'd say what I truly feel!
Between the lines
That's where my life is real
[VERSE (DELILAH, OLIVER)]
Books don't talk
You didn't talk before
Please, won't you listen!?
Your head's so big, and my your eyes, oh how they glisten!
The other heads
They were much smaller
(Thanks?)
That's how I noticed you, it's quite a lovely view!
[SPOKEN (DELILAH, OLIVER)]
Nope!
Good, Delilah
Now you're imagining that a fictional character's flirting with you!
You're gonna open the book, and he's not gonna talk!
Please!
[VERSE/SPOKEN (DELILAH, OLIVER)]
Don't shut me out!
Oh my god!
Don't trap me in!
I think I'm crazy!
'Cause you can hear me, right?
You can hear me, right?
Can you hear me?
Um... yes?
Then don't shut me out!
Sorry!
'Cause this means I'm real!
This can't be real!
And this is splendid, right?
This is splendid, right?
This is splendid!
[SPOKEN (DELILAH, OLIVER)]
Wait, I've read hundreds of books, and this has never happened before...?
Well, I'm not like most characters
Everyone here seems happy living the lives written for them
I'd give anything to change my story
Me too!
See!? Look how much we already have in common!
[BRIDGE (DELILAH, OLIVER, BOTH)]
It must be lovely there!
I'd rather live a fairytale!
No one here can understand me!
I've always felt isolated
Always felt underrated
Now I'm elated to find
[CHORUS (DELILAH, OLIVER, BOTH)]
That between the lines!
There's a way we can connect
I've always felt this book was different
But it's not what you'd expect
And it's like I've always known you
More than beginning to end
But between the lines
(Between the lines)
I think I found a friend
