Back To The Middle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back to the middle and don't you remember?
Every day was another fish tank and your
Head swims around and you wrote us a letter
Saying things will get much better, go
Back to the middle and don't you remember?
Every night, there's a tiny porch lighting our
Chest pulls clouds of bugs to flutter
We felt love as it carried us, carried us

[Pre-Chorus]
Back to the middle and don't you remember?
Our head is a cage and the parrot loves to talk

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2]
We built a cabin and we built a castle
I just don't believe it was worth all the hassle, you know?
We lived in cities and we lived in caves
I guess I'd like to move back to the middle again [Pre-Chorus]
Back to the middle and don't you remember?
Our head is a cage and the parrot, it won't shut up
[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Back to the middle and don't you remember?
Now and then, we will take out a ladder and
See if we wanna climb to the heavens or
Shift our gaze, climb down to the nether, go
Back to the middle and don't you remember?
Every winter, we would wish it were warmer and
Every summer, I would knit you a sweater
Scratch words in the dirt to remember that
We're up here right now, not forever
We're being pulled right back down to the middle again
