Stuck In The Middle

(album: Life In Cartoon Motion - 2007)

I sit and think about the day that you're gonna die
Your wrinkled eyes betray the joy with which you smile
Care to see my reason?
Care to put your life in mine?

Looking at life from the perspective of a boy
Who's learned to love you but has also learned to grow
Could we make it better, stormy weather?
It's so hard to know!

Oh, oh, oh
Is there anybody home
Who will believe me, won't deceive me, won't try to change me?
Oh, oh, oh
Is there anybody home
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle

I look at you, you look at me, we bite each other
And with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter
But my troops are bigger than yours
You'll never stand my fight

Ours is a family that's based upon tradition
But with my careless words I tread upon your vision
Are five kids better than one
Who doesn't like to be gone?

Oh, oh, oh
Is there anybody home
Who will believe me, won't deceive me, won't try to change me?
Oh, oh, oh
Is there anybody home
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle

Yeah, yeah, yeah

This is who I am
This ain't a greater plan to break your heart on me
I know that what I've started means that when we have parted
I can live in honesty

Oh, oh, oh
Is there anybody home
Who will believe me, won't deceive me, won't try to change me?
Oh, oh, oh
Is there anybody home
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle
Stuck in the middle
Stuck in the middle
Stuck in the middle
