Somewhere Between

To a town I once loved

Whatever has become?

You dragged me down

And drugged me up

Took my money

Threw me out

And run

Wade in the water

Parents' house

Out so late

The sun's rising now

Big time drama

Small time town

People watching people watch the world go round

You're not so big

When you step out of here

If home is where the heart is

I've been evicted by the fear that I

I'm somеwhere between who I am

Who I want to bе

I'm somewhere between two paths in front of me

Somewhere between loving you and hating me

Somewhere between, somewhere between

Who I am and who you see

Who you see

A tourniquet 'round your arm

You were my nicotine napalm bomb

You shook me up like a car alarm

Going off inside the dark

I saw you sprawled out on my bed

Back when we were more than friends

Picking payday loans to mend

Our heavy habits and hollow heads

Watching the world disappear

I lost all of my formative years

I'm somewhere between who I am

Who I want to be

(I don't know who I want to be)

Somewhere between two paths in front of me

(Two paths)

Somewhere between loving you and hating me

(Won't someone show me which way to go?)

Somewhere between, somewhere between

(Someone show me)

Who I am and who you see

(Tell me who I am)

Who I am and who you see

I'm somewhere between who I am

Who I want to be

(I don't know who I want to be)

Somewhere between two paths in front of me

Two paths

Somewhere between loving you and hating me

(Won't someone show which way to go)

I'm somewhere between, somewhere between

But I am who I am

But I am who I am

Who I am

Who I am

I

I'm not who I want to be

Won't you show me the way back to myself?

'cause if you asked me to go back

I would say that I just can't

Then I probably would laugh

Before crying

'cause home is really what I lack
