David Gilmour - Between Two Points

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1977287
Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me

Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I've never been
A place I've never been since

Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can't go too wrong

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
Thеy're right, you're wrong

And you can see it in the way thеy look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

And when the sky begins to fall
The blame - all along in you - is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost
And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong

"Between Two Points" by David Gilmour is a hauntingly beautiful song that delves into the pain of broken promises, lost trust, and the feeling of always being the last to know and the first to leave. The lyrics speak of accepting things from day one and letting others walk all over you, laughing through the punches and pain. The song captures the feeling of being misunderstood and mistreated, with a sense of resignation and acceptance of one's fate. The melancholic melody and emotive vocals convey a sense of longing and despair, making it a powerful and introspective piece of music.
