The Middle
Caroline Spence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only in your head, you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
It doesn′t matter what they tell themselves When you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Hey,You know they′re all the same
You know you′re doing better on your own
So don't buy in
Live right now
And just be yourself
It doesn′t matter if it is good enough for someone else
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Hey, don′t write yourself off yet
It's only in your head, you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just do your best,do everything you can
It doesn′t matter what the bitter hearts are
Gonna say
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Alright alright
Alright alright
Alright alright
Caroline Spence’s song “The Middle” is an empowering and uplifting tune that encourages people not to give up and to strive for success in life. The song has a very positive message, emphasizing that our own perception is what determines our reality. The opening lines of the song, “Hey, don’t write yourself off yet, it’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on” acknowledges how easy it is to feel insecure in life, especially when things aren’t going as planned. Spence reminds us that we can’t always rely on the opinions of others to dictate how we live our lives.
Spence then advises that the only way to get through difficult times is to try our best and do everything we can. She advises to “Live right now and just be yourself, it doesn’t matter if it is good enough for someone else.” Spence addresses this empowering message to a “little girl in the middle of the ride” symbolizing a person navigating their way through life – uncertain and uneasy. The chorus assures that “everything, everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be alright, alright”. The song is a reminder to be resilient and to never give up, to focus on one’s own journey, and steer clear of negativity.

The song was included in the “Top 10 Songs You Need To Hear” list by Rolling Stone Magazine and it also won the International Songwriting Contest in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter category in 2017. The song has been covered by numerous artists and it has helped to establish Caroline Spence as a prominent country and folk artist.
