Default Re: 4 questions

Thank you cmm, about my first question,between or among,I know between is used for 2 things,but I have seen in song lyrics a couple of times that they use between when there are more than one,I RECALL THIS ONE:

I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me

I remember someone mentioned this in my English class and they suggested that between is used when we know the exact number,however in the example above,I don't think the writer knew how many lines there were.
I just forgot about it until now, so what's the rule here?
