Middle Ground Lyrics

[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
I need peace, I need hope, I need guidance
I need more than myself
I need light, I need life, I need what I never felt

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Sisters and brothers are picking sides
And both of our mothers are terrified
And I'm crying out to an empty sky
Tell me

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
If I hit the ground
And I fall down to my knees
Would you hear the sound?
Am I crazy to think that we
Could make it out?
Am I crazier to believe
There's a middle ground?

[Verse 2: Mickey Guyton]
I'm so up, I'm so down, I'm so broken
I'm so tired, I can't sleep
I'm not mine, I'm not yours, I'm not sure of anything

[Pre-Chorus: Mickey Guyton & Adam Levine]
Oh, sisters and brothers are picking sides
And both of our mothers arе terrified
And I'm crying out to an empty sky
Tеll me
[Chorus: Mickey Guyton, Both]
If I hit the ground
And I fall down to my knees
Would you hear the sound?
Am I crazy to think that we
Could make it out?
Am I crazier to believe
There's a middle ground?


[Bridge: Mickey Guyton, Adam Levine]
Middle ground, there's a middle ground
I don't need someone to love
I just need someone to live for

Middle ground, there's a middle ground
On my knees where I belong
Please tell me

[Chorus: Mickey Guyton, Adam Levine, Both]
If I hit the ground
And I fall down to my knees

Would you hear the sound?
Am I crazy to think that we
Could ever make it out?
Am I crazier to believe (To believe)
There's a middle ground?
[Outro: Mickey Guyton, Adam Levine, Both]
Middle ground, there's a middle ground (Oh)
Crazier to believe there's a middle ground
Middle ground, there's a middle ground (Oh)
I need you to believe, oh, there's a middle ground

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
