Alanis Morissette Missing The Miracle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You call it "right", and I call it "simple"
And somewhere in the middle, it's "truth"
And you see the hill, and I see the castle
Our front that was united is doomed, ooh

[Chorus]
You call this "brick-and-mortar", I call this "sacred skin"
You see the figure skater, and I fear the ice is thin
And the light is all around us, but when we spar, it's dim
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle

[Verse 2]
You see the cloud and I see the lining
And somewhere in the middle is sun
And you say "It's greatness" and I say "Bad timing"
And when we leave the ring, no one's won, ooh

[Verse 3]
I go for the jugular, you knock 'til you get in You hold the loud and raucous, and I hear the dropping pin
And you run all front and center, I whisper paper thin
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle, oh

[Bridge]
The winter gets long
The rapids get white
And what doesn't kill us turns to grey

[Chorus]
You call this "brick-and-mortar", I call this "sacred skin"
You see the figure skater, and I fear the ice is thin
And the light is all around us, but when we spar, it's dim
We're right here in the middle, missing the miracle

[Outro]
Missing the miracle (The light is all around us)
Missing the miracle (The light is all around us)
Missing the miracle
