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
