James Lyrics by O.A.R

In Between Now and Then

0

You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword
Cause your words will outlive even time."
I've counted my blessings. The rest are for you
Please listen close for a while
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James
I'm fine with you here

I made the mistake once of fearing an end
Is this life that we live just the world's accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James
I'm fine with you here

I grew up slow on the heels of the rest
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest
And I don't feel like crying today
Why can't we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James
I'm fine with you here

You said, "Son, just listen to me."
But I'm doing fine, James
So you can sit back and just breathe
And it's time now to let yourself go
Hold us close, spin the dream
The curtain will fall but behind it I see that you're here
