Meet up in the Middle
Waterloo Revival Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knew it from the first second I'd seen ya
We were startin' us somethin' that we were never gonna quit
Ain't nothin' I can do to stop it
Got me hangin' like a heart on a locket
Got me twisted like the blonde hair you're playin' with
For an all night
Spent tangled up with you
And girl, to tell the truth
Baby, these three short feet
Feel like three long miles
The way you're wearin' that smile
Makes me wanna kiss it off
Baby, don't you wanna just lean my way
Erase this lonely space
Come on slide on over just a little
We can let our lips meet up in the middle
In the middle of your favorite song
In the dark with the stars turned on
Come on let's let loose just a little
We can let our lips meet up in the middle
I don't wanna wait for the porch light
I don't wanna wait for the goodnight
We can take the feeling we're feeling and just run with it
That little look says you want to
That wish you would is painted on you
So what are we doin' playin' all of this hard to get
Baby, these three short feet
Feel like three long miles
The way you're wearin' that smile
Makes me wanna kiss it off
Baby, don't you wanna just lean my way
Erase this lonely space
Come on slide on over just a little
We can let our lips meet up in the middle
In the middle of your favorite song
In the dark with the stars turned on
Come on let's let loose just a little
We can let our lips meet up in the middle
Yeah, I've been waitin' all day
For an all night
Spent tangled up with you
And girl, to tell the truth
Baby, these three short feet
Feel like three long miles
The way you're wearin' that smile
Makes me wanna kiss it off
Baby, don't you wanna just lean my way
Erase this lonely space
Come on slide on over just a little
We can let our lips meet up in the middle
In the middle of your favorite song
In the dark with the stars turned on
Come on let's let loose just a little
We can let our lips meet up in the middle
In the middle of a memory
Your hair fallin' all over me
Come on let's let loose just a little
We can let our lips meet up in the middle
