When two people can contrast so severely on every issue, their union would be a miracle. Even though that is the case, beauty can be found in a relationship of this nature.
Sometimes these divergences can be overwhelming but when so much has been accomplished, Morissette puts herself in the perspec...
[Verse 1]
You call it "right", and I call it "simple"
And somewhere in the middle, it's "truth"
And you see the hill, and I see the castle
Our front that was united is doomed, ooh
[Chorus]
You call this "brick-and-mortar", I call this "sacred skin"
You see the figure skater, and I fear the ice is thin
And the light is all around us, but when we spar, it's dim
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle
[Verse 2]
You see the cloud and I see the lining
And somewhere in the middle is sun
And you say "It's greatness" and I say "Bad timing"
And when we leave the ring, no one's won, ooh
[Verse 3]
I go for the jugular, you knock 'til you get in
You hold the loud and raucous, and I hear the dropping pin
And you run all front and center, I whisper paper thin
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle, oh
[Bridge]
The winter gets long
The rapids get white
And what doesn't kill us turns to grey
[Chorus]
You call this "brick-and-mortar", I call this "sacred skin"
You see the figure skater, and I fear the ice is thin
And the light is all around us, but when we spar, it's dim
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle
[Outro]
Missing the miracle (The light is all around us)
Missing the miracle (The light is all around us)
Missing the miracle

Marriage for me is both people wanting to participate actively in the healing of each other’s wounds, in theory. But when so much is going on, I just feel like we’re missing the point and the beauty of it all, and that’s not uncommon to be just overwhelmed by the day-to-day and triggering each other...
