lyrics

Verse 1
A simple paradise, another stringless heart, a car without its wheels, another empty bar
I slip into a trance to contemplate my fate, but in the end I’m just imagining
Another trampoline, another IOU, another rolling stone to get the message through
But something in her eyes tells me to ask again, caught again in the middle

Chorus
‘Cos I have looked and I have found, I have crawled on frozen ground,
I have thrown a thousand bets, and here I’m still stuck in the middle
I have stooped amongst the weeds, I have bruised and torn my jeans,
I’ve been lost and never found, and here I’m still stuck in the middle

Verse 2
And if you tell me how to navigate this mess, I’ll put you on a list of those I love the best
‘Cos even in the light the darkness calls my name, again and again and again
But I’ll jump right through your hoops until the stars don’t shine
And I will play the game of calculating minds
Just like the time at home, just like the rolling stones, caught again in the middle

Chorus
‘Cos I have looked and I have found, I have crawled on frozen ground,
I have thrown a thousand bets, and here I’m still stuck in the middle
I have stooped amongst the weeds, I have bruised and torn my jeans,
I’ve been lost and never found, and here I’m still stuck in the middle

Bridge
No-one can say, no-one can say, no-one can say, no-one can say we haven’t tried (x3)

Chorus
‘Cos I have looked and I have found, I have crawled on frozen ground,
I have thrown a thousand bets, and here I’m still stuck in the middle
I have stooped amongst the weeds, I have bruised and torn my jeans,
I’ve been lost and never found, and here I’m still stuck in the middle
