Ben Folds Five(1994-2000) was a three-member band formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who until their breakup in 2000 were a mainstay of piano rock. Much of their work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending. The members of the band were: Ben Folds, the lead singer and pianist, who also wrote most of the songs; Robert Sledgeon bass and Darren Jesseeon drums. The group enjoyed the success of the single Brickin 1998, a ballad written by Folds (with a chorus by Jessee) about his high school girlfriend getting an abortion. This song has, to a large degree, misrepresented the band to fans who aren't familiar with their other work; "Brick" is a serious ballad, whereas most of their music is characterised by jazz inflections and witty, humorous lyrics.

In Between Days Lyrics
Ben Folds Five
yesterday I got so old I felt like I could die
yesterday I got so old it made me want to cry
so go on
just walk away
go on, go on
your choice is made
go on, go on
disapear
go on, go on
away from here
and I know it was wrong
when I said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her
In between
Without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared I shivered like a child
yesterday away from you, it froze me deep inside
well
come back, come back
no other way
come back, come back
I'm back today
come back, come back
we'll can't you see
come back, come back
come back to me
and I know it wrong
when I said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her
in between
without you
without you
go on
go on
go on
go on
without you
go on
without you
go on
