[Verse]
It’s the great ideal
But I hold too tight and I end up living in a world I feared
You can read my mind quicker than I write it
But I show my teeth
Words dance on my tongue but they don’t come easy
And they’re hard to hear
You’re a river running fast and I jump right into it

[Chorus]
Could we meet in the middle
All I fear an' I never say?
You lay in the middle of the night
Won't you turn my way?
Hey, hey
Could we meet in the middle when
I go falling through the day?
I wait in the middle, wait for nothing to turn my way
Hey, hey

[Bridge]
I pretend
I pretend
I'm so content, you know I’m no good at it
I come again
To the end
On the bed, you know you’re so good at it
[Chorus]
Could we meet in the middle
All I fear an' I never say?
You lay in the middle of the night
Won't you turn my way?
Hey, hey
Could we meet in the middle when
I go falling through the day?
I wait in the middle, wait for nothing to turn my way
Hey, hey

[Chorus]
Could we meet in the middle
All I fear an' I never say?
You lay in the middle of the night
Won't you turn my way?
Hey, hey
Could we meet in the middle when
I go falling through the day?
I wait in the middle, wait for nothing to turn my way
Hey, hey
