Middle Ground Songtext
von Simon Nicol

For years she′s lived on her own
In a corner of the city
Twice a year she gets back home
Playing catch-up with the family
She tells her folks what they need to know
Mother says she's much too thin

Her sisters ask about her beaus
And her dad enquires "How′s business been?"
She's 33 this time around
She's always been really good at listening
Her sense of humour never lets her down
Except sometimes there′s something missing

Hey, middle ground
A place between up and down
She could be safe and sound
Oh to know middle ground


For years she′s been on her guard
She's kinda tense around her shoulders
She wonders why she works so hard
She counts the days ′til they promote her
She'll take a weekend now and then
Stay in bed and watch some movies
She′ll take the phone off 'til guilt sets in
Sunday′s always kinda leave her let-down

Hey, middle ground
A place between up and down
She could be safe and sound
Oh to know middle ground

Gave her heart away one time
Says that she hasn't seen it since
Love's a puzzle in her mind
The pieces match but just don′t fit
These days run thick and thin
It never rains or else it′s pouring
All her single friends are men
She thinks married girls are so damn boring

Hey, middle ground
A place between up and down
She could be safe and sound
Oh to know middle ground


Hey, middle ground
A place between up and down
She could be safe and sound
Oh to know middle ground
Oh to know middle ground
