About Between the Lines

"Between the Lines" is the first single by Evermore, taken from their third studio album Truth of the World: Welcome to the Show. Evermore's Jon Hume said that "Between the Lines was the first song to come out of a search for a new musical experience as a band." It was released as a free download on Evermore's official website on 10 November 2008. The song failed to chart in Australia and New Zealand as it was not physically released as a single by the band; it was more of a teaser of the band's new musical direction on their new album. The song, however, has become a favourite amongst fans and is now a staple song in the band's live setlist.

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I caught a glimpse of past and future but I did not understand.

Darkness and light, blindness and sight, not everything is so black and white.

CHORUS
Separate the truth from lies with the stories written between the lines 
Only you can tell the wrong from right
The more you look the more you find
Close your eyes and drift away where the lights are taking you no one can say.
In the depths of the your mind, looking for a sign written in between the lines

With canyons stretched below us, the stars will be our guide
We'll tear the mountains from the sea and fall into the sky
We'll drift into the airwaves between the earth and moon, where satellites are sending visions down into your room
