No middle ground
You pull me in then shut me out
No middle ground
You turn a whisper to a shout
You call it done then call me now
I let it ring then turn around
We burn it down come back somehow
No middle ground
No middle ground
Two-seventeen your name in blue
One little message—“Are you up”
I watch it glow I count to ten
Say I won’t then type again
Your coat still hangs behind my door
You swear you’re gone then ask what for
Every exit leaves a key
Every goodbye comes back to me
One step away one breath too near
You make it clear then disappear
We know the ending miss the cue
Still I make room when you come through
No middle ground
You pull me in then shut me out
No middle ground
You turn a whisper to a shout
You call it done then call me now
I let it ring then turn around
We burn it down come back somehow
No middle ground
No middle ground
No middle—
(No middle ground)
No middle—
(Don’t turn around)
Your coffee’s cold beside the sink
You change your mind before I blink
We speak in codes and miss the point
Then blame the silence in the room
Your ride is waiting down below
You take three steps then move too slow
The elevator starts to close
You stop the doors and drop your coat
One step away one breath too near
You make it clear then disappear
We know exactly what this is
A closing door another kiss
If this is over say it clean
Don’t leave your shadow in between
No halfway touch
No almost now
Don’t say you’re gone
Then come around
Either choose me
Or let me down
But I can’t live
On middle ground
No middle ground
Keep your maybe keep your doubt
No middle ground
This time I won’t turn around
You call me late—I let it sound
No second key no way back now
We burned it down
I’m walking out
No middle ground
No middle ground
No middle ground
You pulled me in you shut me out
No middle ground
I know what I can live without
The room is still
The sun is out
You call again
I don’t turn around
No middle ground
No middle ground
No more almost
No more doubt
No more living
On middle ground
