The In-Between
Life happens in the pauses no one claps for
Some people treat life like a show that hasn’t started yet — waiting for the big moment, the perfect scene — and in the meantime, they forget to live the one they’re already in. But life isn’t just the highlight reel. It’s the rough drafts, the quiet stretches, the hard parts too.
Oddly enough, Click — that Adam Sandler movie — really stuck with me. It’s about a man who uses a magical remote to skip the uncomfortable parts of life. But in doing so, he fast-forwards through the very things that make it meaningful. He misses the struggle, yes — but also the growth, the love, the messy, ordinary moments that matter.
Lyrics
Living for the weekend, skipping every page
Monday’s just a hurdle, not a proper stage
But there’s gold in the morning, silver in the slow
And I’ve got blinders on, like I don’t wanna know
Don’t blink away the in-between
Life’s not just the shiny scenes
No skips allowed, even when it’s slow
There’s a spark in the silence you’ll miss if you go
Stop playing life like a trailer for more
You’re already here — what are you waiting for?
Grocery line blues, kid’s screaming in aisle three
I reached for a scroll just to not feel seen
But the cashier smiled like she meant it real
And I felt my feet come back to my heels
Don’t blink away the in-between
Life’s not just the shiny scenes
No skips allowed, even when it’s slow
There’s a spark in the silence you’ll miss if you go
Stop playing life like a trailer for more
You’re already here — what are you waiting for?
Took the long way home, just to see the sky
The dog didn’t rush, and neither did I
The streetlights blinked like they knew my name
And for once, I didn’t wish it all away
Don’t blink away the in-between
Life’s not just the shiny scenes
No skips allowed, even when it’s slow
There’s a spark in the silence you’ll miss if you go
Stop playing life like a trailer for more
You’re already here — what are you waiting for?
I used to scrape the frosting, toss the rest
Live for the sugar, skip all the mess
But now I know it’s the crumbs and the cracks
That make the sweetness come flooding back
Don’t blink away the in-between
Life’s not just the shiny scenes
No skips allowed, even when it’s slow
There’s a spark in the silence you’ll miss if you go
Stop playing life like a trailer for more
This is the life you were waiting for
It’s always been the in-between
The hush behind life’s silver screen
No skips allowed, even when it’s slow
There’s a spark in the silence you’ll miss if you go
Stop playing life like a trailer for more
You’re already here — what are you waiting for?
