Middle Ground

[Verse 1]
Coming in hot
Know I'm a lot
There's something I have to say (Yeah, something I have to say)
Stir up the pot, push it a notch
Wasn't easy, memorable anyway (memorable anyway)
Down on your luck, don't you give up
I got a way to make it all disappear (I got a way, I got a way)
Calling your bluff, it is enough
I get the sense you wanna get out of here (You wanna get out of here)

[Chorus]
I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
(I got to) Step onto the middle ground
Ah, middle ground

[Verse 2]
My hesitation, it keeps me waiting
I get ahead, yeah I get ahead of mysеlf (I get ahead of myself, latеly)
No imitation, I throw you chase it
Losing the patience, I need for everything else (I need for everything else, everything else)
Now, I fall apart
Show me the way you love (Woman)
I harbor your pain, high on the shelf
Slumped on the cane
Yeah, I'm just protectin' myself (Protectin' myself)

[Chorus]
I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
(I got to) Step onto the middle ground
Middle ground
I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
(I got to) Step onto the middle ground
