About

The Format were trying to keep their record deal, but their bosses just wanted another hit like ‘the first single’ and everything that the format had written wasn’t what they wanted. In the end, Nate said ‘They paid us to leave so we made the album ourselves’.

The Compromise Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You, you think it's cool to be crazy
I say you're born rich, stay rich
There's no point in taking chances
And me (Oh, me, no, no, oh)
I wouldn't call it a sophomore slump
I'd say I'm one step closer to being
Just where I want to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Away from this scene
Away from this machine (Alright!)

[Chorus]
Meet me in the middle (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
C'mon, let's make up a dance (Hoo-hoo)
And we'll agree to call it the compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)

[Verse 2]
Step one:
Find a partner, grab a pen
Don't you dare ask questions
Just sign on the dotted line
Step two:
Throw your partner behind a desk
Where they'll do absolutely nothing
So it's your job to dance and smile
The whole time

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call it a trend
It's the only way we think to get ahead

[Chorus]
Meet me in the middle (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
C'mon, let's make up a dance (Hoo-hoo)
And we'll agree to call it the compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
There's no sense in complaining
It doesn't change our minds
Take me by the hand, let's compromise

[Bridge]
I can feel your feet touching mine
If you can't dance
There's someone else in line
I can feel your feet touching mine
If you can't dance
There's someone else in line

[Chorus]
Meet me in the middle (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
C'mon, let's make up a dance (Hoo-hoo)
And we'll agree to call it the compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
There's no sense in complaining (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
It doesn't change our minds (Hoo-hoo)
Take me by the hand, let's compromise
(Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)

[Outro]
Eh-hey, eh-hey!
