Between the Lines Lyrics

[Intro]
Innovating in-between the lines

[Verse 1]
Every day, you hit my phone up
Every time
(You hit my phone up)
It makes my heart jump
I want you to say it, baby
(It makes my heart jump)
Say it like you mean it
It’s right there on the tip of your tongue
(You hit my phone up)
And I can feel it
And I like it baby
Don’t you stop
(Don’t stop what you’re doing, baby)
You know I like it
You stretch it out
(You know I like it)
You give massages
It’s not your words
(You know I like it)
It’s what’s in-between them
There’s no need to spell it out
(It makes my heart jump)
I know you want it
And I like it baby
[Chorus]
I’m reading in-between the lines
I’m reading in-between the lines
(You got me reading in-between the lines)
I’m reading in-between the lines
(Innovating in-between the lines)
I’m reading in-between the lines
(You got me reading in-between the lines)
And I like it, baby
And I like it
(Innovating in-between the lines)

[Verse 2]
I don’t mind
(I don’t really mind it baby)
When we get silent
Pressure’s rising, it’s so intense
(When we get silent)
We’re making diamonds
There’s no need to say it baby
(We’re making diamonds)
‘Cause I can tell you mean it
All over the tip of your tongue
(We’re making diamonds)
You got me spaced out
And I like it, baby
[Chorus]
I’m reading in-between the lines
(Innovating in-between the lines)
I’m reading in-between the lines
(You got me reading in-between the lines)
I’m reading in-between the lines
(Innovating in-between the lines)
I’m reading in-between the lines
(You got me reading in-between the lines)

[Outro]
And I like it, baby
And I like it
And I like it, baby
And I like it
(Relax)
(That’s amazing)
You got me reading in-between the lines
(That shit’s so good)
(Relax)
You got me reading in-between the lines
(Amazing)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Robyn say about "Between the Lines"?
Genius Answer

“Throughout the whole album, I was interested in rhythms that that get repeated in many different ways in dance music. [She sings a ’90s Crystal Waters-style synth dance rhythmic pattern]: That was just something I was hearing. I was playing around, and Klas got into it, and we kind of freestyled that whole song. Sometimes you imitate stuff until you make something of your own.

Once you get into this way of relating to dance music in a club that’s really about being in the space you’re in and feeling your emotion with the people that are there and just enjoying it together, the music changes. It started to inform how I was writing music and how I wanted my music to be. Pop songs have their peaks, but with club music, it’s about the groove and liking where you’re at in that moment, riding a wave. Dancing changed my way of listening to music."
