Dave Matthews Band – The Space Between Lyrics 14 years ago
My take on this song is something like Peppermint's. Although I'm not sure I see it as a break up. I think its about patience. And about feeling strongly for someone who is afraid and so they put their guard up. Think about it.. if someone is always fights your love, you start wondering if you should keep giving it.. Your guard goes up too. Then you are both on some weird roller coaster that doesnt need to be.. if they would only just relax and enjoy the good with you! Yet as the one more sure about it all, the lyrics speak about how even though it becomes warring hearts and even if she may of freaked, "going off like the devil in the middle of a crowded room" at the base of his heart he knows she is just putting a wall because she is scared and thinks it will keep her "safe from the pain".

So, he's trying to be patient because he knows she's not the devil and hopes that eventually she'll trust and let his love touch her heart like "The rain that falls. Splash in your heart". Drives him nuts. He fights back sometimes too. Yet all in all, he feels sure enough to want to be patient and reassure her with words like ... "Take my hand.... we're walking out of here... (together, out of this scarey place). I got all the time for you, love... Love is all we need... (Im not going anywhere...) The space between .... Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you..."
In time we'll be okay cuz... "The Space Between, Your heart and mine, Is the space we'll fill with time..."

I feel this way about someone with their guard up. Don't know if it will work out, but my heart wants to show them I believe in them/us and see through the walls to a better place.. no matter how bad I do/want to fight back sometimes because when they act out and pull away.. it hurts. The first line of this song came to my mind tonight after a rough time... "You cannot quit me so quickly" .. sort of like saying .. Hey, I know it was a knee-jerk reaction, I know in the space you create between us, you will feel me and I will 'try' to wait for you there... But jeez.. you hurt me too and I dunno.. "but will I hold you again... " I'll try to be patient and wait.. we'll see how much I can take before it feels like a lost cause!!
