Vertical Horizon The Middle Ground Lyrics

You illuminate me,
You're the colour I see.
You're all the shines above,
Through the dark and mistrust.

All the doubt in your eyes,
All the stars in the night.
Is it the distance you need,
Or is it just me?

I know you're awake cause you shake when you cry.
As long as I wait, I've got nothing but time.
Take me in or just take me out.
Put me on if you must or just put me down.
Cause I'm done, I'm all worn out.
We're either alive or a lie,
I'm done with the middle ground.

You're the wind at my back,
You're the courage I lack.
But you live your life like a war.
What are you fighting for?

You're touch is the water that gives and takes away,
So I wait in the gutter for another rainy day.
Take me in or just take me out. Put me on if you must or just put me down.
Cause I'm done, I'm all worn out.
We're either alive or a lie,
I'm done with the middle ground.

You close your eyes to see the sun,
And all the things you've never done.
They all come out in the dark,
And once again, just break your heart.

I know you're awake cause you shake when you cry.
I'll hold you, I'll hold you but you've got to decide.
Take me in or just take me out.
Put me on if you must or just put me down.
Cause I'm done, I'm all worn out.
We're either alive or a lie.
I'm done with the middle ground.

I'm done with the middle ground,
I'm done with the middle ground.
Done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground.
I'm done with the middle ground.
