The Parachute Club Lyrics
"Middle Child"

Born in a changing time
Held in the arms of a world grown cold
How could I know?
Can't tell my left from right
Watching deception, it's bought and sold
Which way to go?

Right on the edge of time where you're alone
Between the compromise of young and old
You have to leave behind all you've been shown
To be a middle child, the one who knows

Death in the dreamer's eyes
I heard the cry in the city's soul
I couldn't move
Torn between dark and light
Walking the line of a narrow road
What would you do?

In the middle, oh-oh-oh-oh...

Right on the edge of time where you're alone
Between the compromise of young and old
You have to leave behind all you've been shown
To be a middle child, the one who knows

Wait, chained by the past
Wait, tied to tomorrow
Wait, can't find myself
Wait, I just want to know
Wait, run from the fire
Wait, run from the cold
Wait, run out of time
Wait, just watch me go

Look at the twilight sky
Light isn't only black and white
We need them both
How can our world survive
Until we learn how to let these sorrows go
We need to grow

I am a middle child, I hold my own
Upon the edge of time, I am alone
Between the compromise of young and old
I am a middle child, the one who knows

I am a middle child, I hold my own
Upon the edge of time, I am alone
Between the compromise of young and old
I am a middle child, the one that's wild
