High school is supposed to be the best time of your life. For me, it was one of the worst. I was severly depressed for much of the time. Never felt like I really fit in with anyone. These lyrics were born from that dark feeling of being left of the middle, and right out of place.
Have you ever been lost
In the woods and you can’t find your way
Nobody wants to help
They’ve all turned away
You’re all on your own
And it’s the end of day
Darkness closes in
And you’re stuck
Have you ever been home
But felt like a stranger in your own room
Or you committed a crime
Shunned by your friends like a leper
The middle of the night is your favorite time of day
-spoken-Yeah, I feel you
Left of middle, feelin’ right out of place
Don’t even recognize my own face
Hurtin’ so bad I wanna scream and cry
Feelin’ all alone and I don’t know why
That I’m left of the middle
And right out of place
Trapped in a world of innocent crimes
Daydream thefts and jealous minds
Love creepin’ out on every side
Nobody colors within the lines
It’s easy for a girl to lose her way
And then nobody wants to understand
-spoken-But I feel you
Left of middle, feelin’ right out of place
Don’t even recognize my own face
Hurtin’ so bad I wanna scream and cry
Feelin’ all alone and I don’t know why
That I’m left of the middle
And right out of place
Left of the middle, right out of place
Walkin on water, dancing in space
Searchin for a savior
Someone left of the middle,
And right out of place
