Kai Lim - The Space Between

A hundred afternoons on the same bench. Shoulders almost touching. Ordinary conversation. But today the quiet had questions in it. And he looked away more than usual. She knows the way his hands move when something's true. The space between their shoulders has never been this small. And this large. At the same time. [Lyrics] We've been sitting this close before A hundred afternoons and more And the space between our shoulders Never felt like this before You were talking about something ordinary And I was listening the way I do But the particular quality of the afternoon Was doing something I'd been trying not to There's a kind of quiet that has questions in it The kind we've been having more and more And I answer the questions that are asked out loud And neither of us asks the other one I know the way your hands move when you're thinking And the way you look away when something's true And today you looked away more than usual Which is information I don't know what to do The space between us, it's been there for years The space between us, never loud enough to hear The space between us, today it has a name The space between us, I think we feel the same We've been friends long enough to know each other And maybe long enough to know what this is The space between us, sitting on this bench The space between us, is saying what we miss The space between us I think you know And I think you know I know And the afternoon is warm And the bench is where we always sit And the space between our shoulders Has never been this small And this large At the same time The space between us, it's been there for years The space between us, never loud enough to hear The space between us, today it has a name The space between us, I think we feel the same We've been friends long enough to know each other And maybe long enough to know what this is The space between us, sitting on this bench The space between us, is saying what we miss The space between us The space between Still the bench Still the afternoon Still the space Still everything ⓒ 2026 Kai Lim.
