Meet in the Middle Lyrics

[Intro]
Darling, I'm still here for you
Darling, I still got your back

[Verse 1]
We started on the left
But we somehow ended on the right
You thought that you owned me
I thought that you owned me
We started facing east
But we somehow ended facing west
Sniffing through my fingers
Which spot I owned you

[Chorus]
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle

[Verse 2]
I can tell you I'm naive
But at least I'm still alive
I'm not scared in winter
I'm not scared of looking up
You tell me I'm naive
And this means I'm paying rent
Silently in separate rooms
Won't you come back to me?
Wasteful, analytical
Twenty-something, scared of love
Unfold, unfold those tattooed arms
Come on, let me in and open up
[Chorus]
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh (I'm looking out for you)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh (I've still got your back)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh (I'm looking out for you)
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh (I've still got your back)

[Chorus]
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle (I've still got your back)
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle
This is only gonna work
If we meet in the middle (I've still got your back)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
