In the Middle - Late Night Alumni

Here you are there they are

And I'm like the man in the middle

If I'm the peacekeeper you'll find me between the lines

I see you one by one each come undone

When there's a rumble to be won

It's a riddle and I'm the man in the middle

You have it on good faith

You know you gave it a fair shake

And you could burn your bridge

Or patch it up when it breaks

Yeah I'm a quick closed book

I know you all wanna read it but I've sealed it up

It's a good one but you're not shaking it open

Am I your tug of war or the thin line that I walk on

If you can't see me I'm the one sleeping in the light

It's with me all day long

All night I'm mulling it over

How you somehow walk with a hatchet

If you toss it I'll catch it

You're like an axe swinging your facts

How can I say who's gone astray

The fence is made

So far I've stayed here with one hand on every side

'Cause I'm the man in the middle
