So you think youre in the middle of the ocean
Stranded on an island of your own
Or stuck in the top of a mountain
Either way youre gonna say youre all alone

And I hesitate to say that youre a liar
I never tell the [bad word] myself
But I tried to chase you down and I got tired
So Im leaving you to you or someone else

Cause you never wanna hook up in the middle
And Id meet you there to talk if you would show
But you answer every question with a riddle
And refuse to even choose to let me go

It used to be Id tell you all my secrets
Giving you the credit you deserve
I guess you didnt care to lose or keep it
And we never quite connected from the first

And I wish I had a way to make it better
To rearrange the world and make you smile
But its dumb to even think I had that power
And we havent been that close in a while

And I dont even wanna try to name it
Explain it for the one who couldnt care
Cause all that matters is the way you choose to frame it
And I hesitate to say that youre a liar

I never tell the [bad word] myself
But I tried to chase you down and I got tired
So Im leaving you to you or someone else
Cause you never wanna hook up in the middle

And Id meet you there to talk if you would show
But you answer every question with a riddle
And refuse to even choose to let me go
