Between the Lines

Lyrics

[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
