The Middle - Jimmy Eat World

One more try We can only hang on for so long But we won't rise Someone's always somewhere in the middle And I know why you can never tell me forever Look away when you see me reaching out for higher Higher love, ooh higher love is not better And I love the way you tell me You're wrong when there's nothing to say, oh Hanging on the fence now We're always somewhere in the middle And I can never tell you I don't want love You're always somewhere in the middle Free from our dreams Hanging on the fence now We're always somewhere in the middle And I can never tell you I don't want love You're always somewhere in the middle Free from our dreams Watch how high, use your hand to steady out the ladder But you won't try, you don't wanna stay there in the shadow Eye to eye when you used to stand here right beside me Now we take time, no one ever said what's everlasting Hanging on the fence now We're always somewhere in the middle And I can never tell you I don't want love You're always somewhere in the middle Free from our dreams Hanging on the fence now We're always somewhere in the middle And I can never tell you I don't want love You're always somewhere in the middle Free from our dreams How can I show you I love you? Now that they put me above you They're enough to make you feel little But now we're just somewhere in the middle Waiting for direction, waiting on the bench now How could I not mention I was always tempted Always in the end, now wait until we calm down I can do it better, better baby Hanging on the fence now We're always somewhere in the middle And I can never tell you I don't want love You're always somewhere in the middle Free from our dreams Hanging on the fence now We're always somewhere in the middle And I can never tell you I don't want love You know I never meant to make you feel little, little Now it's time to start somewhere in the middle, middle

Love ain't never been your friend Love never gonna hear what you're demanding Love ain't some magical thing Love never gonna be the way you're dreaming It's gonna seem so far It's gonna feel so hard Until you want the work more than the reward Do you want the work more than the reward? Love ain't some magical thing Love never gonna be the way you're dreaming It's gonna seem so hard It's gonna feel so hard Until you want the work more than the reward Until you stop asking "Oh, what is it all for?" Do you want the work more than the reward? It's gonna seem so hard It's gonna feel so hard Until you want the work more than the reward Until you stop asking "Oh, what is it all for?" Do you want the work more than the reward?
