Taking a few years away from the music scene to work on new material, Jennifer released her second studio album, Positively Somewhere, in September 2001. This album featured a more mature pop-rock sound, but went virtually unnoticed in the U.S. after its release due to lack of promotion on her label's part. It wasn't until its European and Asian release in the summer of 2002 that it achieved some success, thanks to the modest hit "Stranded", a cover of the Plumb song. Following the release of this album, Paige parted ways with her label, Edel. As a result, her former label released a compilation record in 2003 called Flowers - The Hits Collection, which comprised all of Paige's singles alongside a selection of other material lifted from her first two albums.
It wasn't until April 2008 that Jennifer Paige released her follow-up album, Best Kept Secret. Released in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in 2008 through her new label GLOR Music Production GmbH, it included the singles "Wasted", "Underestimated", and the Nick Carter collaboration "Beautiful Lie".
A few years later, Paige collaborated with Coury Palermo for a couple of EPs but returned to her solo ventures for her first Christmas album, Holiday. Released in November 2012, it featured original seasonal material along with reworkings of old classics.
Following a successful kickstarter campaign, Paige released her fifth studio album in March 2017. Originally called Daydreamer, it was eventually renamed Starflower, and includes the single "The Devil's in the Details".
Between You And Me
Jennifer Paige Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is paved with good intentions we have
No matter how we try
To keep our promises, sometime we just can't
Little bit of faith can be wondrous
It's the only place we can turn to
Between you and me
We'll rise above and we'll get through anything
Between you and me
They say that bridges burn
From one soul to another if you don't tend the flame
And I pray somehow we've learned
To build an understanding from the ashes that remain
Not enough faith can be dangerous
It's the only place we can turn to
There are times I don't feel safe
Like we're not on solid ground
But I trust your eyes
When I see you look this way
I know we'll find it, we're gonna find it
The lyrics in Jennifer Paige's "Between You And Me" convey a message of hope and love amidst difficult situations. The first verse talks about the struggle to keep promises even with good intentions, and how faith can help us navigate through them. This is further emphasized in the chorus where the belief of the singer in the power of love between them and their significant other is enough to overcome any obstacle that may arise. The second verse continues with the metaphor of bridges and how lack of tending to the flame can result in burns but can also emerge as a chance to understand and rebuild. The bridge provides a moment of vulnerability where the singer talks about not feeling secure but how the trust in their partner's eyes gives them the hope to believe that they will find their way.
The overall theme of the song is about believing in the strength of a loving relationship to overcome obstacles through trust and faith. The song uses metaphors of roads and bridges to convey the message in a relatable and inspiring manner. The use of the first person narrative adds a personal touch and makes the song more impactful. The melody of the song is also uplifting and meshes well with the positive message.
