"How It Is Between Us"

"...How is it between us? How is it between us?
When did I talk to you last, and what has happened since?
How is it between us? How is it between us?
When did I talk to you last, and what has happened?
When I wake up I am on my way, reinventing the wheel and saving the day.
I have learned this lesson a thousand times,
I am the branch, and you are the vine.
Apart from you we are mice and men,
with our fancy dreams of grandeur and no way to get there.
Oh I can think about you now and then, or I can make a mark on eternity.
Lord first of all, how is it, between you and me?
So let the wicked prosper, let the oceans roar,
let the mountains crumble, and fall into the sea.
There's something more important weighing on my mind.
Lord first of all, how is it between you and me?"
