Right In The Middle Of It
Chely Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's the only kind of love you ever hear about
But we're somewhere in between
And it oughta go down in history
Cause love is alive with you and me
And it's a real good place to be
[Chorus]
Yeah, right in the middle of it
There's no fireworks and no big bouquets
No hot romance on display
But we don't think about breakin' up
We're right in the middle of love
Yeah, all our friends wonder how we made it last
We say we're lookin' at tomorrow and not the past
No, they're never gonna make a movie 'bout us
Cause we don't have a Hollywood love
The credits roll when a movie is through
But there ain't gonna be an end to me and you
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
We're just right in the middle of love
We're just right in the middle of love
In Chely Wright’s song Right In The Middle Of It, the singer talks about being in a relationship that’s not quite like the typical “falling in love” or “falling out of love” kind that’s often portrayed in movies and TV shows. Instead, they're somewhere in-between those two stages, and she believes that's a real good place to be, and it should go down in history. The love between them is alive, even if there aren't any fireworks or big bouquets or hot romance on display. They don't think about breaking up, and that's a real testament to the strength of their relationship.
She says they're not the kind of couple that Hollywood would make a movie about, but that's okay because they're not interested in that kind of love. They're looking toward the future and not dwelling in the past. They've managed to make their love last, even though their friends may wonder how they’re doing it. It's not a Hollywood love story, where the credits roll after the movie is over. They are right in the middle of love, and there won't be an end to their love story.
