Steve Lindsley - The Middle

from Round 36, Week 3 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

about

My last two tunes this round have been pretty formulaic and layered instrumentation-wise, so I decided to loosen up this round. Meme is one my 19-year old son sent me and I kind of ran with it. Guitar was recorded on the deck of my family's mountain house so if you listen closely you'll hear the occasional nature sound in the background.

lyrics

If life was flying to a destination
If love were a train pulling out the station
I'd walk the aisle trying to stay in line
Searching for a place I could call all mine

And I wouldn't sit in the middle stuck in between
I've been before - it’s not all it’s made out to be
I would take the window so that I could see the world
All the beauty that awaits to be unfurled
Or I might take the aisle cause that's where the people are
Reminding me that they are not that far

As I travel on the journey from beginning to the end
I cannot help but try my best to comprehend
That the places we choose to be our better selves
Are right there with everybody else

And love is
Waiting on the outside
Holding fast, speeding by
I could grab it if i tried
And love is
Found in those near by
Lives intertwined, hearts aligned
We’re inclined to magnify
Our love.....

So why do I choose to stay in the middle
