The Middle Lyrics


I've been around for a little over twenty years
And to anyone who needs advice on getting here
Don't ask me, the path I took was not
Exactly by the book, by the bookI was too young to know and too dumb to figure out
That you can lose yourself in all this traveling around
And you reach a point of no return
Losing touch with lessons learned, lessons learnedLet me tell you now where I went wrong
Hollywood is just another place I don't belongLet's go to the middle where time stands still
And let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
I'll be me and you be youI'm finding out the ways of this world
Can be overcome with one boy's love for just one girl
And the only way to love yourself
Give your love to someone else, someone elseDon't believe in everything you hear
Growing up is more than simply living through the yearsLet's go to the middle where time stands still
Let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
I'll be me, you'll be youI'm disappointed in myself

I left you on a shelf that I could never reach
I practiced what you'd always preached against
But now I'm back in my defense
All that black and white world we tried to paint is really graySo it took a little time to get this right
The guilty and the innocent are always side by sideLet's go to the middle where time stands still
Let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
I'll be me, you be you
I'll be me, you be you
I'll be me, you be you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Not to be confused with the jazz-rock guitarist John McLaughlin (of Mahavishnu Orchestra fame), Jon McLaughlin (born September 27, 1982) is a piano-playing pop/rock singer-songwriter from Anderson, Indiana. His debut album Indiana was released on May 1, 2007, preceded by his first EP Industry, also known as Jon McL, in February, 2007. In 2008, McLaughlin returned with lead single "Beating My Heart", which is available on iTunes. The song is a part of his previous album called OK Now, confirmed on his official site. OK Now was released on October 7th, 2008. He gained fame with his cameo appearance in Disney's Enchanted. Released in early September 2011 in the US, Forever If Ever is Jon's 3rd major label release and his newest album to date. It could previously be downloaded on Amazon's website and the compact disc bought at his personal website. However, seeing as the album will have a re-release with additional tracks and a new name "Promising Promises", the first release has been ultimately shelved. Only the lucky early buyers have a hold of these songs until they are re-released in May 2012. The lead single preceeding the album is "Summer Is Over" featuring the singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. It was released in late January 2012.

Playing piano since early childhood, Jon McLaughlin grew up in Anderson, Indiana. He didn't want to take piano lessons anymore and was always finding ways to get out of doing so. While attending Highland High School, McLaughlin shattered both wrists in an accident that interrupted his musical expression. Rediscovering "his muse," McLaughlin attended Anderson University to study music. He released an independent album entitled, Up Until Now in 2003. This quickly led to McLaughlin becoming the first artist to sign on with the school's burgeoning, if not local, record label, Orangehaus Records. The self-titled album released in 2004 to local and regional praise. He began touring, traveling throughout the Midwest and working up a grassroots following.
