about

Another piece of my heart. A trip inside my fantasy-laden mind when I was struggling in my marriage a few years ago. It’s easy to fall, it’s easy to seduce when you’re a stranger. It’s also easy to destroy, to run, to make a mess of things.

But the middle…

The middle is the hardest part.

This song is all about me struggling with that. Struggling with the present, the mundane, the normal, the everyday. Wanting chaos, strangeness, newness, drama. Wanting to be seen differently. Wanting to be different.

But the thing about running from the middle, is that you’ll always be running.

lyrics

I don’t know you but I know
I know you’re gonna break my heart
Ooh the middle
Is the hardest part

Cuz he’s running wild and free
And I’m just trying to live in this shell of a body
And he’s gonna love who he’s gonna love
And I know he’s tryin’
But he won’t make it home to me tonight

You’re no stranger, yea you’re heavy
Yea you’re heavy on my heart
Ooh the middle
Is the hardest part

Cuz he’s running wild and free
And I’m just trying to walk on my own two feet
And I should have known it from the start
Oh the middle
Is the hardest part

Oh always in the night
Oh always every night
Always looking for a place to go

Oh always in the night
Oh always every night
Always looking for a place to go

He’s running wild and free
And I’m just trying to walk in my own two feet
And he’s gonna love who he’s gonna love
And I know he’s tryin’
But he won’t make it home to me tonight

Ooh the middle
Ooh the middle
Ooh the middle
