“Something Inbetween” is the 8th track on Dean’s second studio album, “The Art of Loving”. Dean expresses the complexity of relationships, as she’s tied between the thought of “Something Inbetween” a relationship, and more than just a friend.
[Verse 1]
Don't say a lot of things we might regret, don't kiss anymore
We're both tryin' to keep it clean on the cuttin' room floor
I'm too young to believe until the end, too scared to cut it short
But this time, if I don't say it right, I don't care anymore
I'm still here, but you're not getting me

[Chorus]
And I'm not leaving, just feel tightly squeezed in
Love needs breathing
I'm not his, I'm not hers
I'm not your all or nothing
I'm more, can we still be something in between?

And I love, love, but I also can really function alone. An...
