Mat Kearney - In the Middle

Lyrics

I meant it all and every part

And every word right from the start

I'll never let this love fall in the middle

Cause you know you broke the hardest part

You know you broke the hardest heart

I'll never let this love fall in the middle

Through it all

Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces

Swimming bold against a stream that's mocking as it races

In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky

Crack a smile just to hide the race that's inside

Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for the rail

One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail

One in a million, still I keep feeling you keep me from a fall

A world to lose coming back with you tall

Through it all

[Chorus]

No parachutes no safety nets here

One foot on the water to face these fears

I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong

I said "hey, I won't fall in the middle"

Twenty five here I am with freshman lp's

One life to write one, two years to repeat

Behind a curtain, uncertain if an encore's in store

Tuck my shoulder like a soldier to knock down the door

Thirty something here I'm running with kisses for one girl

These scars upon my sleeve still casting out my pearls

Throw each stone microphone like it's my last turn

With a kiss to the abyss and watch the ripples return

Through it all

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

And I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright

With you by my side

And I said I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright

With you through this fight

Through it all

I meant it all and every part

And every word right from the start

I'll never let this love fall in the middle

Through it all

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

I meant it all and every part

And every word right from the start

I'll never let this love fall in the middle

Through it all
