The Middle Ground - Vertical Horizon

You illuminate me

You’re the color I see

You’re all the 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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
