From the recording Trouble in Paradise

Lyrics

Meet Me In The Middle

You were singing from the heart and you knew right where to start
And you were careful not to sing it too loud
You were swinging with the band
and now you can’t understand
Somebody telling you to turn it all down
It was hitting the spot
and you were burning and hot
And you were everybody’s favourite friend
But there’s something you miss
like a passionate kiss
When you don’t expect to feel it again

You had another bad day
walk along on your way
And maybe you can turn it around

Meet me in the middle
Over in the sunshine
Say you’ll meet me half way
Try to find a good time
To meet me in the middle
We’re gonna be half way to feeling fine
Somewhere near the middle
We’ll give and take a little
Give and take a little

You were nobody’s fool
when you were breaking a rule
And you can justify it every time
But you were never around
and barely making a sound
When you were navigating over the line
It was such a good start
and now you’re breaking her heart
Do you remember when it happened to you
Ya it’s something you know
it wasn’t so long ago
Can you remember what you said you would do

I thought it ought to mention
you gotta pay attention
Or you’re gonna end up paying a price

Meet me in the middle
Over in the sunshine
Say you’ll meet me half way
Try to find a good time
To meet me in the middle
We’re gonna be half way to feeling fine
Somewhere near the middle
We’ll give and take a little
Give and take a little

No one ever knows
where the willingness goes
To try to make a little compromise
Compromise

Meet me in the middle
Over in the sunshine
Say you’ll meet me half way
Try to find a good time
I’ll meet you in the middle
We’re gonna be half way to feeling fine
Somewhere near the middle
We’ll give and take a little
Give and take a little
