The Middle Distance Songtext
von JD Eicher

My sisters and my brothers, mismatched lovers
Open-handed, here I am, here I am
Pictures of each other, one another,
and the feelings come again, here I am

I think it′s funny how we happen time-ways
and we keep on pushing on past your bones and skin
But the mind doesn't pass it

You and I, we were better than friends, we′re living like strangers
How could we ever be strangers?
I don't know anything stranger
You and I, we were better than this to let it all change us
How could we let it all change us?
Couldn't anything save us?

This is the middle distance
This is the middle distance, mhm

August on the pavement,
we were waiting for the storm to finally end, it never ends
Promises were made there, just to fade there
I know I was half the man, but twice the friend


I think it′s funny how we happen time ways,
and we keep looking on past the focus shifts
But my mind never passed it

You and I, we were better than friends, we′re living like strangers
How could we ever be strangers?
I don't know anything stranger
You and I, we were better than this to let it all change us
How could we let it all change us?
Couldn′t anything save us?

Where the lines meet, where the paths cross, where the future starts
I have stopped
Where the lines meet, where the paths cross, where the future starts
I am lost

You and I, we were better than friends, we're living like strangers
How could we ever be strangers?

You and I, we were better than friends, we′re living like strangers
How could we ever be strangers?
I don't know anything stranger
You and I, we were better than this to let it all change us
How could we let it all change us?
Couldn′t anything save us?


Ooh (this is the middle distance, this is the middle distance)
My sisters and my brothers, mismatched lovers, open-handed here I am
