Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Oh to live with your heart in two places
Is an ache that never leaves
Cause losing you feels like I've lost my breath
The breath I need to breathe
I know Heavens richer
Angels hold you in their arms
But knowing you're okay now
Doesn't mean it's still not hard
To carry on and make the most
Of what's in front of me
Down here, In the space between
But if I listen close
I can hear you cheer me on
Steady now it won't be long
There won't be a space between
There are days I wish I could escape it
But for now I'm held by time
This distance separating you from me
Sometimes just seems so wide
I wish I could see it
The view from where you are
What seems to me forever
To you's just not that far
So I'll just keep on running
The race laid out for me
Down here, In the space between
But if I listen close
I can hear you cheer me on
Steady now it won't be long
There won't be a space between
