The Middle

Miles from ecstatic

Years from depressed

Across the board content

A step below dramatic

Nowhere near repressed

Sometimes I just need to vent

I've got an understated chest

And an exaggerated ass

But with the right clothes

I manage to balance out

One part prudish

Three parts crass

Sometimes these words just slip out

But I like the view

From where I stand

From up here

I can see both sides

And the middle

Is a little like no man's land

But it's a pretty nice place

to hide

I can be funny when I talk

And too damn serious when I sing

I wish I could just lighten up

I'm go-with-the-flow

But obsess over every little thing

I wish my head would just shut up

I lose my heart

Without looking down

They could be

Sarah, Chloe, or Clyde

And I suspect the question's

been going around

As to whether I'll ever decide

But there's more than

one single facet to my face

I've got infinite schizophrenic sides

The middle is a little like

wide open space

Like the time in between the tides

You might as well brand

a big fat 'M' on my chest

'Cause I'll never be

a woman of extremes

I've never been the worst

and I'll never be the best

But that'll never stop

me or my dreams

So go on, go ahead

put me to the test

I wouldn't be

the first or last to lose

'Cause falling somewhere

in between the worst and the best

Leaves a hell of a lot of

room to improve

ABut I like the view

From where I stand

From up here

I can see both sides

And the middle

Is a little like no man's land

But it's a pretty nice place

to hide
