Lyrics

This a song about life, and all the space at the heart of it

Between what we can’t predict and what we can’t forget

Went from on the bus to on stage at the arias

Shit, I guess growing up’s a part of it

Turned a bandwagon to a tour bus

Had to put in leg work, it ain’t a small jump

Highlight reel like I fantasised that

And life like the train wheels on Frankston line tracks

Gotta roll with it, ain’t always easy but it’s easier than throwing it in

Dust yourself down, go again

Sometimes life remindyou so you don’t forget

Sometimes just surviving is a show of strength

I went number 1, partied, woke up, and went to work on the next

Cause you earn what you get

But fuck ballin, my measure of success

Was when mum retired I could promise her she’d never need to stress

Someway somehow it all worked out

A ‘lotta hard lessons but they’re sure learnt now

Me and Southside Melbourne are always bound

No matter where on this little blue ball I’m found

Never needed y’all to say I’d do it, cause I knew it

You get what you give, and I gave my life to it

And if I had the time over again

I’d do it all, yeah, every last thing, yeah, every last thing

Ah man, what a trip what a trip

Guess I could, guess I did, so

Tell ‘em it can wait it ain’t over nowhere close

Nah man, don’t you blink, don’t you blink

Cause you could miss, yeah you could miss

All the things that matter most, so pour up cause

Here’s to where we going

And where we been

And everything still waiting

In the space between

Do you remember? I told ya long time ago

That when I get there you’ll know

And I ain’t there yet, I’m still down for the ride, so imma roam

I’ll see you where the rubber meet the road

People asking where you been, between here and now and there and then

Where to start, fell apart, and rebuilt again

Got a few less friends, got back a brother

So my other brother got married with two best men

Lost love, yeah and fell back in

Wrote the album, rewrote the whole album, rewrote it again

I gave my all cause Brig said like hell I’d quit

Years from now these the stories I’ll tell my kids

And yeah, this the truth

Whole country had my back when I only had a voice

So, this for you

A man now but I swear imma always be your boy

I grew up in front your eyes

My stories right there between highs and bottom lines

But we’re so fixated on making our time count

Chasing dreams nearly forgetting it’s right now

And these are times we don’t get to have twice

So one day we can sit back, talk about our lives, and

All that we did, and how far we done came

Maybe one day, but not today

Ah man, what a trip what a trip

Guess I could, guess I did, so

Tell ‘em it can wait it ain’t over nowhere close

Nah man, don’t you blink, don’t you blink

Cause it goes quick, yeah it goes quick

And it’s gone before you know, so pour up cause

Here’s to where we going

And where we been

And everything still waiting

In the space between

Everything we got and all we gained

Everything we lost along the way

Every path has its price

In between beginnings and the ends

Between regrets and everything ahead

There’s so much left to write

So here’s to where we going

And where we been

And everything still waiting

In the space between

Here’s to where we going

And where we been

And everything still waiting

In the space between
