lyrics

THE LINE BETWEEN US

Let’s give it a rest tonight…
All the yelling and screamin’…I got no appetite
I don’t want to give in
To this feeling I have that’ll start it all over again
Well, I’m tired of hearing it go round and round
I’m about to put my heel and toe back on the ground
It’s been a long time coming but now it’s true
That the line gets wider, it just gets wider…between me and you… between me and you.

Oh, Thinkin’ back to when we started out
When the job and mortgages were all it was about
I couldn’t hold my tongue…
I could hold a drink even though our love was on the brink
Well we tried to find shelter in each others’ arms
We did but we also did each other so much harm
Our days just run from black to blue
and the line gets wider …it just gets wider …
between me and you…between me and you.

BREAK: Maybe it’s the lines on the highway the lines on your face
where you sign your name the line that leaves no trace
Long lines you wait in, line items that you deduct
Then you finally realize ....that you fucked it up

What do we do now today
With all the broken pieces of our lives that have chipped away
What doesn’t kill you…just hurts instead ..makes you want to take back everything you said
Well they say it’s this that makes you strong
I been through it and I say that’s dead wrong
Our words hurt worse than any punch we threw
And the line gets wider …it just gets wider …between me and you … between me and you
REPEAT FIRST TWO LINES

about

mike ward Detroit, Michigan

Lyrically-centric, vocally-charged folk songs. Those are what singer-songwriter Mike Ward loves to create. Living in Detroit, Mike grew up listening to Irish music. Influences are Jason Isbell, Bruce Springsteen and John Prine. His writing echoes along empty sidewalks, on country backroads, in family portraits, and in the thin lines between joy and tragedy, love and loss, past, present and future. ... more
