Tonight, the moon came out
It was nearly full
Way down here on earth
I could feel it's pull
The weight of gravity
Or just the lure of life
Made me want to leave
My only home tonight
Now I'm just wonderin' how
We know where we belong
Is it in a photograph
Or a dashboard poet's song?
Will I have missed my chance
To right some ancient wrong
Should I find myself
Between here and gone?

Now I could grab my keys
Clear out in my truck
With every cent on board
Bringing me their luck
An' I could drive too fast
Like a midnight sleeve
As if there was a way
To outrun the grief
Now I'm just wonderin'
How we know where we belong
In a song that's left behind
In the dream I couldn't wake from
Could I have felt the brush
Of a soul that's passing on
Somewhere in between here and gone?

Up above me
Wayward angels
A blur of wings and grace
One for courage
One for safety
One for 'just in case'

I thought a light went out
But now the candle shines
I thought my tears wouldn't stop
Then I dried my eyes
And after all of this
The truth that holds me here
Is that this emptiness
Is something not to fear
Yeah, I'll keep wondering
How we know where we belong
After all the journeys made
And the journeys yet to come
When I feel like giving up
Instead of going on
Somewhere in between

Yeah, I'm just wondering
How we know where we belong
Is it in the arc of the moon
Leaving shadows on the lawn?
In the path of fireflies
And a single bird at dawn
Singing in between here and gone
