Caught in the Middle

by Alex the Astronaut

on The Theory of Absolutely Nothing (2020)

[Verse 1]
Hello, stranger, can I take your coat?
I haven't seen your face in ages
Everyone we know is out the back
And they're painting pictures of the lives they've been making
George has been smoking a lot these days
He said, in the grand scheme of things, it's okay
And Jen's been working too much, and she won't stop
But now they're both learning the low light of love

[Chorus]
And they're caught in the middle of it
Just caught in the middle of it
Oh, everyone is singing
But they don't really know what to sing

[Verse 2]
Back inside
There's smiles and hugs and champagne flies
'Cause Sam told us his baby is coming
In Paris, he found out his baby is coming

[Chorus]
Now he's caught in the middle of it
Just caught in the middle of it
Oh, everyone is singing
But they don't really know what to sing

[Verse 3]
I don't know where I'm going or what I'll be
But somehow I've managed to land on my feet
Oh, you should've seen it, you won't believe it
Thousands of people singing back at me

[Chorus]
Now I'm caught in the middle of it
Just caught in the middle of it
Oh, everyone is singing
But they don't really know what to sing
And they don't know the words
But it doesn't stop them joining in

[Verse 4]
Push the couch back, someone's on the table
Mark plays the air guitar, it's his stage
And everyone is dancing around, it's so late
But no one even noticed until the police came

[Chorus]
Just caught in the middle of it
Just caught in the middle of it
Oh, everyone is singing
But they don't really know what to sing
And everyone is dancing
But don't know where the hell to begin

[Bridge]
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

[Verse 5]
Goodbye, stranger, take your time
Plant your seeds, it'll all be alright
You'll grow up and know more and see
Happier times than you could've dreamed

[Chorus]
You're just caught in the middle of it
Just caught in the middle of it
Oh, everyone is singing
But they don't really know what to sing
Yeah, everyone is chasing
After the life that they're in
