The Middle

I used to watch the evening news

And all I saw was reds and blues

And we both know it all comes down to green

Standing on the edge of town

The sun ain't coming up or down

And we're all stuck here somewhere in between

Oh

Oh, oh, oh, out here in the middle

Oh, oh, oh, familiar ground, I fear

Oh, oh, oh, love ain't such a riddle

If we can't give a little

We can't get there, can't get there from here

Working hard and paying dues

But in the end, you have to choose

You lead, you follow, or get left behind

Sometimes, I can't sleep at night

The market's down and money's tight

How much do you pay for peace of mind?

Oh-whoa

Oh, oh, oh, out here in the middle

Oh, oh, oh, familiar ground, I fear

Oh, oh, oh, love ain't such a riddle

If we can't give a little

Then we can't get there, can't get there from here

But we all live in a world that's so demanding

And all we want is love and understanding

Ooh

Oh, oh, oh, out here in the middle

Oh, oh, oh, familiar ground, I fear

Oh, oh, oh, love ain't such a riddle

If we can't give a little

Then we can't get there, can't get there from here

Oh, oh, oh

From here

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Love ain't such a riddle

If we can't give a little

Then we can't get there, can't get there from here
