This song is about the uncomfortable energy after a breakup in which you’re still very familiar with everything about the other person, though you don’t know about the little things anymore like how their day went. It describes the space you just hover over, somewhere between being lovers and strang...
[Verse 1]
You went and called me for the first time in a year
But then no words came out
Oh, oh-oh
We used to kiss and say I love you
Now we never say nothin' at all
Oh, oh-oh
We're caught in the middle
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I think about your dog and wonder
If she thinks I passed away
Oh, oh-oh
I guess a part of me is dead now so
I guess she's right in a strange way
Oh, oh-oh
We're caught in the middle
Oh-oh
We're caught in the middle
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
We're caught in the middle of lovers and strangers
You know everything about me, except how my day was
Ain't it funny how we used to say I love you
Now we don't say nothin' at all
[Verse 3]
Your best friend told my best friend
That you went and moved out of the USA
Oh, oh-oh
I'm happy for you and I'm happy
Not to worry that we're in the same coffee place
Yeah, we're caught in the middle
Oh-oh
We're caught in the middle
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
We're caught in the middle of lovers and strangers
You know everything about me, except how my day was
Ain't it funny how we used to say I love you
Now we don't say nothin' at all
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
(We're caught in the middle)
Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
(We're caught in the middle)
Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
(We're caught in the middle)
Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
(We're caught in the middle)
[Outro]
Lovers and strangers
I know everything about you, except how your day was
Ain't it funny how we used to say I love you
Now we don't say nothin' at all
