I was dry as a desert plain
She came down like a summer rain
Then came a hurricane
It was too intoxicating
Feeling the pressure pushing down on me
Defying the gravity
Chorus:
And now I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high, don't want low
Just wanna play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
Play it down the middle this time
I don't want too extremes, just in-betweens
I wanna play it down the middle this time
Oooh
I'm just a shadow of myself
A plain old reflection of who I used to be
Its staring back at me
Like a sun and a moon in the same sky
I stood in a crowd
And I feel like I'm all alone
From colour to monochrome
Oooh
Don't want maybe or someday baby
I don't want maybe
I need to know right now
And now I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go
I don't want fast, don't want slow
I don't want high
