Middle Ground

Coming in hot, know I'm a lot
There's something I have to say (there's something I have to say)

Stir up the pot, push it a notch
Wasn't easy, memorable anyway (memorable anyway)

Down on your luck, don't you give up
I got a way to make it all disappear (I got a way, I got a way)

Calling your bluff, it is enough
I get the sense you wanna get out of here (you wanna get out of here)

I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step onto the middle ground

Ah, middle ground

My hesitation
It keeps me waiting
I get ahead, yeah, I get ahead of myself (I get ahead of myself, lately)

No imitation, I throw, you chase it
Losing the patience I need for everything else
(I need for everything else, everything else)

Now I fall apart, show me the way you love (woman)
I harbor your pain, high on the shelf
Slumped on the cane, yeah
I'm just protecting myself (protecting myself)

I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step onto the middle ground

Middle ground

I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is, that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step into the middle
