Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I left home
'Cause I was tired of fighting with everybody 'bout nothing
And my self control
Was a razor blade to start dying or start running
When I got bored
I could smoke another dream and breathe it out
Wait, wait
I couldn't wait to go find something better than sticking around
[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna stand in the middle of the road
Can't hold on, but I can't let go
And I feel like I'm living a lie
Yeah, I feel like I'm living a lie
[Verse 3]
I'm not gonna dance in the middle of the road
In between all the highs and lows
And I feel like I'm living a lie
Yeah, I feel like I'm living a lie
[Verse 4]
All my life
I was watching everybody die young and keep living.
Social pariah
I came out young and spent a lifetime sinning.
When I got bored
I could smoke another dream and breathe it in.
Wait, wait
I couldn't wait and get stuck here wearing someone else's skin
[Verse 5]
I'm not gonna stand in the middle of the road
Can't hold on, but I can't let go
And I feel like I'm living a lie
Yeah, I feel like I'm living a lie
[Verse 6]
I'm not gonna dance in the middle of the road
In between all the highs and lows
And I feel like I'm living a lie
Yeah, I feel like I'm living a lie
The middle of the road
[Verse 7]
If I stayed
I would've graduated into paying debt until I'm 70
Or lost my way
And OD'd on a playground looking for clarity
[Verse 8]
I'm not gonna stand in the middle of the road
Can't hold on, but I can't let go
And I feel like I'm living a lie
Yeah, I feel like I'm living a lie
[Verse 9]
I'm not gonna dance in the middle of the road
In between all the highs and lows
And I feel like I'm living a lie
Yeah, I feel like I'm living a lie
The middle of the road
[Verse 10]
The middle of the road
