In The Middle
Verse:
There’s somethin ‘bout the way
The ocean pours in over you
Oh, it’s something I can’t explain
Reflecting on the ways
My heart has pulled through (Ways)
Oh it’s something I cannot change
Oh, I know that you gotta go
You gotta do what you’re supposed to do
Just know there’s no one to blame
We always get stuck in the middle
This life seems so simple
Until there’s no reason to stay
Yeah
Chorus:
Ooh
In between the ups and downs
Somewhere in the ins and outs
I been lookin’, lookin’ for you
Ooh
I was hoping you would find me out
In between the ups and downs
I been lookin’, lookin’ for you
Ooh
Verse:
I seem to drown
From the weight of the signs
When my head is under water
And I’m swimmin’ through my mind
Yeah
Nothing can stop the way I used to know you
Hold you
I guess it’s scary to admit to yourself
Gotta let go of your past
To become someone else
I know that I’ll miss you
But I got some issues
And oh, I know
I know that you gotta go
You gotta do what you’re supposed to do
Just know there’s no one to blame
We always get stuck in the middle
This life seems so simple
Until there’s no reason to stay
Yeah
Chorus:
Ooh
In between the ups and downs
Somewhere in the ins and outs
I been lookin’, lookin’ for you
Ooh
I was hoping you would find me out
In between the ups and downs
I been lookin’, lookin’ for you
Ooh
Verse:
I know that the fans been patient
My plans are late
And I think they’ve been waiting enough
I know there’s no time
To waste just by contemplating
And trust me, I hear all your thoughts
"She signed to a label
What if she changes?
What if her memory fades
And forgets all the people who loved her before she was famous?
Started from nothing, man
How could you blame us?"
No, no, no, no
I know, I get it
Don’t feel misunderstood
One of my idols signed a deal
Did shit they said they never would
But I did not get this fuckin far
To be some puppet on some shelf
& I haven’t fought for who I am
Just to become somebody else
I know it’s hard
But I’ll fight for who I was
And who I will be
To become somebody greater
And at the same time
Stay the same me
And I still don’t give a fuck ‘bout what they say to me
Stay true to who you are
And never do it quietly
Don't panic
