In Between

So you had a guitar, and a couple of things to say

So you wrote 'em down

You rode around

You made your home the highway

And you've come so far

But it's "not far enough" they say

You've gotta make it

"Make it big"

What are you making anyway?

If you haven't gone gold

If you don't go platinum by twenty

You can only go down

You'll never be found

You're a heads-down penny

You're a star

Or you're a starving artist

Nobody seems to notice

No one seems to see

You're in between walking the line right down middle

They're so extreme and you're just tryna live your life

Somebody long ago went high, went low

And landed where wise ones go when they grow tired of going for the ride

When it comes to love

They say the falling is a thrill

They're falling in

They're falling out

But you're standing still

And you are nothing

Nothing at all like Juliet

And you'll never know a Romeo

But you'll never know regret

And you're saved

Or you're a sleeping beauty

And no one's watching movies on our kind of love

We're in between walking the line right down middle

They're so extreme and we're just tryna live our lives

Somebody long ago went high, went low

And landed where wise ones go when they grow tired of going for the ride

(We're in between)

This ain't no nightmare

This ain't no fairytale either

And I didn't come, to be someone

I'm no preacher or believer

I'm just a fly on the walls of my mind

And I'm here to make my own heart break and leave it all behind

I'm a hero

Or I'm the lowest kind of villain

My highs are not fulfilling

They always leaves me low

Let me be between walking the line right down middle

They're so extreme and I'm just tryna live my life

Somebody long ago went high, went low

And landed where wise ones go when they grow tired of going for the ride
