Song for the "Middle Years"

 The Middle

by Bebo Norman

It's as if You could find me anywhere

That I could go to try to hide my thoughts from You

But just like some runaway I'm leaving here

With half a mind that hopes of getting caught

So we can just drive home in the dark where we'll let our feelings fly

They'll cut like shame to break me down again

Until there's nothing left but for me to tell You I'm sorry

But I don't wanna go home now

Stuck here in the middle alone now

Everybody's singing their song now

But I'm still reeling

I'm not trying to 
run away from this beautiful life I've been given 

I'm not looking for freedom

Maybe just a little meaning here in the middle

It's as if there's a world uncovered by the break of day all these miles away 

but

for a better view

Of what's left in the aftermath of all these years

It's just so hard to know who I am in You

So I don't wanna go home now

Stuck here in the middle alone now

Everybody's singing their song now

But I'm not ready for this

I'm not trying to run away from this 
beautiful life I've been given

I'm not looking for freedom. 

Maybe just a little meaning here in the middle

Alright, everybody says I'll be alright

Everybody says it's a good fight 

I'm not seeing it now

All I know is I swear this

It feels a little more like a secret

And I don't know if I should just keep it to myself 

but my Love, my Love...
