The Middle Ground

[Verse]
You illuminate me, You're the color I see
You're all that shines above, Through the dark and mistrust
All the doubt in your eyes, All the stars in the night
Is it the distance you need, Or is it just me?
I know you're awake, 'cause you shake when you cry
As long as I wait,, I've got nothing but time

[Chorus]
Take me in, or just take me out,
Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out,
We're either alive or a lie, I'm done with the middle ground

[Verse]
You're the wind at my back, You're the courage I lack
But you live your life like a war, What are you fighting for?
Your touch is the water, that gives and takes away
So I wait in the gutter, for another rainy day

[Chorus]
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
You close your eyes to see the sun, And all the things you've never done
They all come out in the dark, And once again just break your heart
I know you're awake, 'cause you shake when you cry
I'll hold you, I'll hold you,, But you've got to decide

[Outro]
Take me in, or just take me out, Put me on if you must, or just put me down
'cause I'm done, I'm all worn out, We're either alive or a lie, oh
We're either alive or a lie, I'm done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground, I'm done with the middle ground, Done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground, I'm done with the middle ground.
