We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No one else has read

Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads


We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits

To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together

Like two passing ships

[Chorus:]

Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show

Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between

Leave room for you and I to grow

We are strangers to each other

Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well rehearsed routines

Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know


[Chorus]

We are islands to each other

Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away

Some we would not choose
But we're not always free


[Chorus]
