The Middle
Cheyenne Goss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause sometimes it just feels like I'm not getting anywhere
And I don′t know where you have gone
I get lost in my thoughts
Of what's right and what is wrong
That's when I forget you have called me friend
And I am right where I belong
I know you′re first and you′re last
But I'm here in the middle
I′m stuck in the middle
Promise me that you will never leave
Open up my eyes so I can see
You here in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle
Maybe it′s not so bad, being here with you
Might have lost my way, lost my faith,
Lost my mind and talent too
But I know when I wake up, no matter how I feel
Tomorrow brings another day, a sunny place,
To seek your face and maybe even you
Cause everything you say will come to pass
I know you're first and you′re last
But I'm here in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle
Promise me you that you will never leave
Open up my eyes so I can see
You here in the middle
I′m stuck in the middle
Maybe it′s where we were always meant to be
Relying and trusting in you in the in-between
I said maybe it's where we were always meant to be
Relying and trusting in you in the in-between
Everything you say will come to pass
I know you′re first and you're last
But I′m here in the middle
I'm stuck in the middle
Promise me you will never leave
Open up my eyes so I can see
You here in the middle
I′m stuck in the middle
In Cheyenne Goss's song The Middle, the lyrics describe a feeling of uncertainty and doubt, and a need for reassurance and guidance from a higher power. The singer expresses her fear of navigating life on her own, feeling stuck and without direction, and forgetting her connection to her friend. However, she finds comfort in the belief that everything her friend says will come true, and in knowing that he is present even in the middle of her struggles. She asks for a promise never to be left alone and for the ability to see things more clearly. She ultimately acknowledges that being in the "in-between" may be where she was always meant to be, as long as she can rely and trust in her friend to guide her through.

I've been real scared to do this on my own
I've been hesitant to walk alone down the path of life
Cause sometimes it just feels like I'm not getting anywhere
Sometimes it feels like I'm moving forward, but most times it doesn't
And I don't know where you have gone
I don't see signs of your presence in my life
I get lost in my thoughts
I get stuck trying to make sense of things in my mind
Of what's right and what is wrong
I'm unsure of what's the right course of action and what's not
That's when I forget you have called me friend
In these moments I forget that you've come to be my friend
And I am right where I belong
In these moments, however, I feel the safest in your embrace
Everything you say will come to pass
I know that all your promises will eventually come true
I know you're first and you're last
I acknowledge that you're the beginning and the end of everything
But I'm here in the middle
I feel like I'm constantly stuck in-between different stages and phases of life
I'm stuck in the middle
I feel like I'm trapped in this state with no clear way out
Promise me that you will never leave
I plead with you to promise me that you won't leave my side during this tumultuous journey
Open up my eyes so I can see
I hope to see your truth and your wonders with an unclouded vision
You here in the middle
I hope to find you in the midst of my life's chaos
Maybe it's not so bad, being here with you
Perhaps being with you during these uncertain times is not such a bad thing after all
Might have lost my way, lost my faith, lost my mind and talent too
I might have lost my sense of direction, faith, sanity and even my talents along the way
But I know when I wake up, no matter how I feel
I know that when I arise each day, regardless of how I'm feeling at that moment
Tomorrow brings another day, a sunny place, to seek your face and maybe even you
I will find a new day full of opportunities to find your presence and discover who you truly are
Maybe it's where we were always meant to be
Maybe this confusing middle space is where we were always bound to end up
Relying and trusting in you in the in-between
And in this space, we need to depend on you and have faith in your guidance
