Musical Monday #30 - The Middle
I love love love this song, and it's actually a very fitting song for me. In fact, I can think of a few others of you out there that this song applies to.
On top of actually having a meaning - albeit a rather flimsy one - this song is one of my favorite songs. It's a good modern day track that gets my hand bopping, my feet tapping and, if I'm lucky, Tam loves to dance like a loon to it.
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle is one of those songs that you often hear and enjoy, then forget about, only for it to come on again at another point for you to remember it, rock out and then forget to see who it is singing it. Listening to it - loud, of course - makes me feel great, regardless of the words or whatever. Bethy also used to rock out to it, and Jaysen sings along like a pro to it.
If you're interested, the song is all about fitting in and being popular - but that you don't have to be like everyone else in order to do so. Go for it - don't conform, be yourself, and especially, don't let the buggers get you down!
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head
You feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away
It just takes some time, little girl
You're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right
Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own
So don't buy in, live right now
Yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else
It just takes some time, little girl
You're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right
It just takes some time, little girl
You're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head
You feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best, do everything you can
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say
It just takes some time, little girl
You're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right
It just takes some time, little girl
You're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right
