In The Middle
Navigating Love's Maze: In The Middle by Art School Girlfriend
Lyrics
It's the great ideal
Expressing the aspiration for an ideal but struggling to maintain it.
But I hold too tight and I end up living in a world I feared
Difficulty in balancing aspirations and fears, leading to an unwanted reality.
You can read my mind quicker than I write it
Someone understanding thoughts faster than they are verbally expressed.
But I show my teeth
Despite understanding, displaying a defensive or confrontational attitude.
Words dance on my tongue but they don't come easy
Struggling to articulate thoughts verbally; words are not easily spoken.
And they're hard to hear
Difficulty in communicating, and the words spoken are hard to comprehend.
You're a river running fast and I jump right into it
Metaphorically diving into a fast-paced relationship or situation.
Can we meet in the middle
Desire to find a compromise or common ground in a relationship.
All I feel I never say
Unexpressed emotions or thoughts despite feeling them strongly.
You lay in the middle of the night
Yearning for attention or recognition in the midst of the night.
Won't you turn my way
Requesting the focus or attention to be directed toward the speaker.
Can we meet in the middle
Reiteration of the desire to find a middle ground in the relationship.
I go falling through the day
Feeling lost or falling emotionally during the day.
I wait in the middle of the night for you to turn my way
Anticipation of attention or a connection in the middle of the night.
I pretend
Engaging in pretense or facade in a relationship.
I pretend
Repetition of pretending, highlighting a struggle with authenticity.
I'm so content you know I'm no good at it
Acknowledging discontent while expressing difficulty in managing it.
I come again
Returning to a situation, perhaps despite recognizing its challenges.
To the end
Reaching the end of something with proficiency, despite reservations.
On the bed you know you're so good at it
Acknowledging proficiency in a particular aspect within a relationship.
Can we meet in the middle
Reiteration of the desire to find a compromise or common ground.
All I feel I never say
Unexpressed emotions or thoughts despite feeling them strongly.
You lay in the middle of the night
Yearning for attention or recognition in the midst of the night.
Won't you turn my way
Requesting the focus or attention to be directed toward the speaker.
Can we meet in the middle
Reiteration of the desire to find a middle ground in the relationship.
I go falling through the day
Feeling lost or falling emotionally during the day.
I wait in the middle of the night for you to turn my way
Anticipation of attention or a connection in the middle of the night.
Can we meet in the middle
Reiteration of the desire to find a compromise or common ground.
All I feel I never say
Unexpressed emotions or thoughts despite feeling them strongly.
You lay in the middle of the night
Yearning for attention or recognition in the midst of the night.
Won't you turn my way
Requesting the focus or attention to be directed toward the speaker.
Can we meet in the middle
Reiteration of the desire to find a middle ground in the relationship.
I go falling through the day
Feeling lost or falling emotionally during the day.
I wait in the middle of the night for you to turn my way
Anticipation of attention or a connection in the middle of the night.
