Jon Mclaughlin - The Middle lyrics

rate me

I've been around for a little over 20 years

And to anyone who needs advice on getting here

Don't ask me, the path i took was not exactly by the book, by the book

I was too young to know and too dumb to figure out

That you can lose yourself in all this traveling around

When you reach a point of no return losing touch with lessons learned, lessons learned

Let me tell you now where i went wrong

Hollywood is just another place i don't belong

Let's go to the middle where time stands still

Let's get lost in those hills

Live a little closer to what is true

I'll be me and you be you

I'm finding out the ways of this world

Can be overcome with one boy's love for just one girl

And the only way to love yourself is to give your love to someone else, someone else

Don't believe ineverything you hear

Growing up is more than just living through the years

I'm disappointed in myself

I left you on a shelf that i could never reach

I practiced what you'd always preached against

But now i'm back in my defense

That black and white world we tried to paint is really gray

So it took a little time to get this right

The guilty and the innocent are always side by side
