Middle Songtext
von Jon McLaughlin

Now I′ve been around for a little over twenty years
And to anyone who needs advice on getting here
Don't ask me, the path I took is not exactly by the book
By the book
I was too young to know and too dumb to figure out
That you can lose yourself in all this travelling around
And you reach a point of no return
Losing touch with lessons learned, lessons learned
Let me tell you now where I went wrong
Hollywood is just another place I don′t belong, ooh

Let's go to the middle where time stands still
And let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
And I′ll be me, oh, and you′ll be you


I'm finding out the ways of this world
Can be overcome with one boy′s love for just one girl
And the only way to love yourself
Is giving love to someone else, someone else
Don't believe in everything you hear
Growing up is more than simply living through the years, oh

Let′s go to the middle where time stands still
And let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
And I′ll be me, oh, and you'll be you

I'm disappointed in myself
I left you on a shelf that I could never reach
And I′ve practiced what you always preached
I guess now I′m back, in my defense
All that black and white world we tried to paint is really grey
So we took a little time to get this right
The guilty and the innocent are always side by side, oh

Let's go to the middle where time stands still
And let′s get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
And I'll be me, you′ll be you
I'll be me, you′ll be you
And I'll be me, oh, and you'll be you
