Spaces
Lauren Sanderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreamed of places in her mind
Showed me pages in her notebook
Told me read between the lines
She'd say, "Someday I'll be big
If I could only find the time
I'm just waiting for that moment
Had this vision and she told me
Life was all about a dream
Understood her vision
Asked if I could plant a seed
Told her dreamin' only goes so far
Dreamin' only goes so far
So go and chase em baby
So go and chase em baby
So go and chase em baby
Sometimes we claim it's not fair
Sometimes we wait for timing
This place was built for dreamin'
These spaces flood my mind
Sometimes we claim it's unfair
Sometimes we wait for timing
These spaces, they're floating through my memory
These spaces, they flood my mind
So lost, so lost
So lost, so lost
So lost, so lost
So lost, so lost
& I found myself wishin'
Wishin' for a better life
& I realized these were spaces
Places that fill my mind
We may never find our answer
But we always seem to try
To fill these spaces
Spaces that fill my mind
