"The Notes" lyrics

Music lives between
The notes you hear
In the space around
The sound so clear

Not what's written down
Not what's played exact
It's the breath between
The silence intact

Between the notes, between the notes
That's where I find the truth
Between the notes, between the notes
Beauty in the loose

Composers write the score
But can't write the air
The feeling in the pause
The light that's there

Rules say play it clean
I say leave it blurred
Beauty's in the fog
Not the certain word

Between the notes, between the notes
Where harmony floats free
Between the notes, between the notes
Undefined melody

Silence is the canvas
Sound is just the frame
Real music happens
In what can't be named

Between the notes, between the notes
That's where music lives
Between the notes, between the notes
In what the space gives
