[00:-2.00]Jon McLaughlin - The Middle

[00:12.65]I've been around for a little over 20 years
[00:18.62]and to anyone who needs advice on getting here
[00:24.60]don't ask me, the path i took was not exactly by the book,
[00:32.34]by the book
[00:36.86]I was too young to know and too dumb to figure out
[00:43.10]that you can lose yourself in all this traveling around
[00:49.27]when you reach a point of no return
[00:53.00]losing touch with lessons learned, lessons learned
[01:02.10]let me tell you now where I went wrong
[01:08.54]hollywood is just another place i don't belong
[01:14.88]
[01:18.23]let's go to the middle where time stands still
[01:24.36]let's get lost in those hills
[01:30.58]live a little closer to what is true
[01:36.73]I'll be me and you be you
[01:45.52]
[01:56.00]I'm finding out the ways of this world
[02:02.14]can be overcome with one boy's love for just one girl
[02:08.01]and the only way to love yourself
[02:11.43]is to give your love to someone else, someone else
[02:18.86]
[02:20.74]don't believe in everything you hear
[02:26.95]growing up is more than just living through the years
[02:33.52]
[02:36.57]let's go to the middle where time stands still
[02:42.91]let's get lost in those hills
[02:49.15]live a little closer to what is true
[02:55.13]I'll be me and you be you
[03:00.89]
[03:01.37]I'm disappointed in myself
[03:05.17]I left you on a shelf that i could never reach
[03:10.55]I practiced what you'd always preached against
[03:14.82]but now I'm back in my defense
[03:17.88]that black and white world we tried to paint is really gray
[03:26.35]so it took a little time to get this right
[03:32.64]the guilty and the innocent are always side by side
[03:40.74]
[03:42.45]let's go to the middle where time stands still
[03:48.61]let's get lost in those hills
[03:54.83]live a little closer to what is true
[04:00.95]I'll be me and you be you
[04:07.16]I'll be me and you be you
[04:12.83]I'll be me and you be you
[04:21.58]
