Edie Carey - The Middle lyrics

rate me

Miles from ecstatic Years from depressed Across the board content A step below dramatic Nowhere near repressed Sometimes I just need to vent I've got an understated chest And an exaggerated ass But with the right clothes I manage to balance out One part prudish Three parts crass Sometimes these words just slip out But I like the view From where I stand From up here I can see both sides And the middle Is a little like no man's land But it's a pretty nice place to hide I can be funny when I talk And too damn serious when I sing I wish I could just lighten up I'm go-with-the-flow But obsess over every little thing I wish my head would just shut up I lose my heart Without looking down They could be Sarah, Chloe, or Clyde And I suspect the question's been going around As to whether I'll ever decide But there's more than one single facet to my face I've got infinite schizophrenic sides The middle is a little like wide open space Like the time in between the tides You might as well brand a big fat 'M' on my chest 'Cause I'll never be a woman of extremes I've never been the worst and I'll never be the best But that'll never stop me or my dreams So go on, go ahead put me to the test I wouldn't be the first or last to lose 'Cause falling somewhere in between the worst and the best Leaves a hell of a lot of room to improve ABut I like the view From where I stand From up here I can see both sides And the middle Is a little like no man's land But it's a pretty nice place to hide
