I sit alone in the darkness
Planning the perfect approach
The first step is always the hardest
The first move means the most
The more I think about it
The more confused I am
I could come out and say it
Then you'd know where I stand
Would make it so much easier

If you meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance
Meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance, oh, baby
Meet me in the middle

It's a one-sided situation
A one-way love affair
I know if I remain silent
We end up going nowhere
The way it's building up in me
I don't know what to do
Tell the truth and take the consequences
Feel like a fool
It would make it so much easier

If you meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance
Meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance, oh, baby
Meet me in the middle

I've got to know which way to turn
To let you know or act nonchalant
I may be wrong to come on strong
Scare you away and that's not what I want

The more I think about it
The more confused I am
I could come out and say it
Then you'd know where I stand
Would make it so much easier
Oh, so much easier

If you meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance
Meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance, oh, baby

Meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance, oh, baby
Meet me in the middle
Oh, baby
