Coming in hot
Know I'm a lot
There's something I have to say

Stir up the pot
Push it a notch
Wasn't easy
Memorable anyway

Down on your luck
Don't you give up
I got a way to make it all disappear

Calling your bluff
It is enough
I get the sense you wanna get out of here

I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
Step onto the middle ground

Ah middle ground

My hesitation
It keeps me waiting
I get ahead, yeah I get ahead of myself

No imitation
I throw you chase it
Losing the patience
I need for everything else

Now I fall apart
Show me the way you love (woman)
I harbor your pain
High on the shelf
Slumped on the cane
I'm just protecting myself

I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step onto the middle ground

Middle ground

I'm holdin' back a million times
There it is that familiar feeling
Now it has to change on my count
I gotta step onto the middle
