[Verse 1]

So you think you’re in the middle of the ocean

Stranded on an island of your own

Or stuck on the top of a mountain

Either way you’re going to say you’re all alone

[Verse 2]

And I hesitate to say that you’re a liar

I never tell the truth myself

But I tried to chase you down and I got tired

So I’m leaving you to be with someone else

[Chorus 1]

‘Cause you never want to hook up in the middle

And I’d meet you there to talk if you would show

But you answer every question with a riddle

And refuse to even choose to let me go

[Verse 3]

It used to be I’d tell you all my secrets

Giving you the credit you deserve

I guess you didn’t care to lose or keep it

And we never quite connected from the first

[Chorus 2]

And I wish I had a way to make it better

To rearrange the world and make you smile

But it’s dumb to even think I had that power

And we haven’t been that close in a while

[Bridge]

I don’t even want to try to name it

Explain it for the one who couldn’t care

‘Cause all that matters is the way you choose to frame it

[Verse 2]

I hesitate to say that you’re a liar

I never tell the truth myself

But I tried to chase you down and I got tired

So I’m leaving you to be with someone else

[Chorus 1]

‘Cause you never want to hook up in the middle

And I’d meet you there to talk if you would show

But you answer every question with a riddle

And refuse to even choose to let me go
