The Middle Ground

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You illuminate me

You're the color I see

You're all that shines above

Through the dark and distrust

All the doubt in your eyes

All the stars in mine

Is it the distance you need

Or is it just me

I know you're awake

'cause you shake when you cry

As long as I wait I've got nothing but time

Take me in or just take me out

Put me on if you must or just put me down

'Cause I'm done

I'm all worn out

We're either alive or a lie

I'm done with the middle ground

You're the wind at my back

You're the courage I lack

But you live your life like a war

What are you fighting for

Your touch is the water that gives and takes away

So I wait in the gutter for another rainy day

Take me in or just take me out

Put me on if you must or just put me down

'Cause I'm done

I'm all worn out

We're either alive or a lie

I'm done with the middle ground

You close your eyes to see the sun

And all the things you've never done

They all come out in the dark

And once again just break your heart

I know you're awake

'cause you shake when you cry

I'll hold you I'll hold you but you've got to decide

Take me in or just take me out

Put me on if you must or just put me down

'Cause I'm done

I'm all worn out

We're either alive or a lie

We're either alive or a lie

I'm done with the middle ground

I'm done with the middle ground

I'm done with the middle ground

I'm done with the middle ground

I'm done with the middle ground

I'm done with the middle ground
