I am a middle child between two brothers. I used this as a metaphor of being in places where I've so often found myself - in the almost paralyzing middle position between the polarized opinions of others.

Lyrics


I’ve never been a leader
But I think that a leader would be
A very good thing to be
And I’ve never been I be a follower
Because how could I be a follower
What with all the things that I’ve been prone to see

Middle child
Always lookin’ ahead always lookin’ behind
Lookin’ for some kind of confirmation
Some outside explantation
Middle child middle child middle child

I see my little brother and I hear my big brother
always offerin’ advice
Yeah everybody’s talkin’ and I wanna believe
I wanna believe that somebody else has got it right

Middle child
Always lookin’ ahead always lookin’ behind
Lookin’ for some kind of confirmation
Some outside explantation
Middle child middle child middle child

Now I’m starin’ at the future as I’m
leanin’ in the past
Like some monkey in the middle
Tryin’ to make this party last
But when all I’ve been and all I know has
left this building long ago
Will I hang on to the same old song
Or find a way to move along

Middle child…..
