[Verse 1]
Straight up
Tell me everything you've been through
Since I've been away showin' off
You've got every little thing going on for you
So, how come we can't connect?
How quickly you forget
Straight up
Tell me everything you've been through
[Chorus]
Let's meet in the middle, cause we both want a little bit more
If I waste what you're givin' then I won't forgive it
You'll leave me just wantin' it all
Let's meet in the middle
Halfway in the middle
Let's meet in the middle
Halfway in the middle
[Verse 2]
Play tough
So, now you're way too busy for me to be the one I love
What you made of
You've gotta show me if you want me to belong to you
Not just be a silhouette, someone that you'll forget
Play tough
So, now you're way too busy for me
[Chorus]
Let's meet in the middle, cause we both want a little bit more
If I waste what you're givin' then I won't forgive it
You'll leave me just wantin' it all
Let's meet in the middle
Halfway in the middle
Let's meet in the middle
Halfway in the middle
[Bridge]
Don't hide it, don't hide it
I can see you tryna hide it
I'm tired of this fightin', just take me there
Head in the clouds and it's drivin' me crazy
I'm tired of this fightin', just take me there
Don't hide it, don't hide it
I can see you tryna hide it
I'm tired of this fightin', just take me there
Head in the clouds and it's drivin' me crazy
I'm tired of this fightin', I'm tired
[Chorus]
So let's meet in the middle, cause we both want a little bit more
If I waste what you're givin' then I won't forgive it
You'll leave me just wantin' it all
Let's meet in the middle (Ooh)
Halfway in the middle (Ooh)
Let's meet in the middle (Ooh)
Halfway in the middle (Ooh)
(Ah-ah)
[Outro]
Meet in the middle
Meet in the middle
