Here nor There
Andy Stochansky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave love to those who know
Did you ever say
I'm stuck in the middle
Or the fear of being hurt
The one you loved could be so curt
And then you say I'm stuck in the middle
So remember this
It's from now it was the kiss
From the day you were
Stuck in the middle
Did you ever close your eyes
Did you let him walk by
Think to yourself
This is going nowhere
Did you ever need to know
If he could love you so
But then you said
This is going nowhere
So remember this
It's from now it was the kiss
On the day you were
Stuck in the middle
Please don't pretend
Not tonight, not ever
Please don't pretend
Not tonight, not ever
Please don't pretend
This will not end..
Did you ever need to know
If he could love you so
But then he says I'm stuck in the middle
But then he says I'm stuck in the middle
But then he says
I'm stuck in the middle
