Somewhere in the Middle

[Verse 1]
Smile like James Dean, but mama told me look inside where darkness hides
Twenty running around wild invisible like we're the only ones up in this town
Barefoot on the MTA and got my fake in the bar
Should have known being bad would turn to a war

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Doesn't take much to
Keep me running back to you
Some days I hate myself
For loving you

[Chorus 1]
You brush my skin, I'm sinking in
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle
Push you away, I'm running to
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle

[Verse 2]
Moved to Harlem so I could get away
Or New York to smaller place
We were broke and you told me it took a hold, wish you'd only stayed a mystery?
Tore me into Love me like one, why the hell did I stay?
Should have known being bad would turn to a war

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ohhh boy… here we go…
Twenty-somethings don't know
Some days I hate myself
For loving you

[Chorus 2]
You brush my skin, I'm sinking in
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle
Push you away, I'm running to
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle
And up the same way we began
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle
Every time we quit, I miss your kiss
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle

[Bridge]
You brush my skin, I'm sinking in…
(Sinking in…)
Push you away, I'm running…
(Running…)

[Chorus 3]
And up the same way we began
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle (oohhh!!!)
Every time we quit, I miss your kiss
Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle

[Outro]
Middle
(Somewhere in the middle, Somewhere in the middle)
Mid-dl-dl-dl-dl-dl-dl, Somewhere in the middle
Mid-dl-dl-dl-dl-dl-dl, Somewhere in the middle
