Back To The Middle

Back to the middle and don't you remember? Every day was another fish tank and your Head swims around and you wrote us a letter Saying things will get much better, go Back to the middle and don't you remember? Every night there's a tiny porch light and our Chest pulls clouds of bugs to flutter We felt love as it carried us, carried us Back to the middle and don't you remember? Our head is a cage and the parrot loves to talk We built a cabin and we built a castle I just don't believe it was worth all the hassle, you know? We lived in cities and we lived in caves I guess I'd like to move back to the middle again Back to the middle and don't you remember? Our head is a cage and the parrot, it won't shut up Back to the middle and don't you remember? Now and then we will take out a ladder and See if we wanna climb to the heavens or Shift our gaze, climb down to the nether, go Back to the middle and don't you remember? Every winter we would wish it were warmer and Every summer I would knit you a sweater Scratch words in the dirt to remember that We're up here right now, not forever We're being pulled right back down to the middle again
