The Man in the Middle (feat. Jeremy Jordan)

The man in the middle

The man in the middle

One between two, the glue of all three

The man in the middle is...

Me

The guy in the center

The friction preventer

The Devil's presenter

The key

The man in the middle

A twice second fiddle

Balancing each precariously

The man in the middle is me

I play both sides

Of the field

The pair divides

My role's congealed

Once it's been revealed

I'm the man

Biased, I'm not

She needs me, he's hot

One between two, the glue of all three

The man in the middle is me

Ichabod, I'm making dinner, and after, we'll cuddle and talk through the night

I'll pour us some wine, our riotous laughter will make you believe it'll all be all right

Ichabod, buddy, come over, the game's on, we'll bond over pizza and beer

And aren't you impressed and a little turned on

Hanging out with a hottie who's not even queer?

Roomie

I think about you all the time

(sung)

Buddy

I made us that shrimp with cilantro and lime

(sung)

Steer me

Miss me

Cheer me

Kiss me

Hold me

Now I'll admit, that 'kiss me' bit was maybe all in my head

I concertedly, somewhat pervertedly, made up a lot of what he said

And sure, it was fun for a second, but now I'm prepared to call the score

I'm not just the glue the two pursue, I'm the rope in their tug of war

Yeah, I'm the man in the middle

The man in the middle

One between two, the glue of all three

The man in the middle is me

Ichabod, Ichabod!

I’m making dinner and after we’ll cuddle and talk through the night

I’ll pour us some wine, our riotous laughter will make you believe it will all be all right

Ichabod, listen, I just need to talk

Can’t we open a bottle

And Ichabod pass me the bottle

We’ll open a bottle and drink!

Ichabod, Ichabod!

Ichabod, buddy, come over, the game’s on. We’ll talk and we’ll flirt

And aren’t you impressed and a little turned on hanging out with a hottie

Now, what do you drink?

Ichabod, listen, I just need to talk

Can we open a bottle, and Ichabod pass me a bottle and drink!

The man in the middle

Biased, I'm not

A twice second fiddle

She needs me, he's hot

Balancing each precariously

The man in the middle is...

Me!
