Middle Years

This is about high school.

Middle Years

Verse:
You slowly walk into a room that’s full of strangers
You’d never think they would be any danger to you
Breathing rapidly, eyes darting to every corner of your new home
So many temptations, both good and bad, will cross your path as you go

P-C:
But this is the big leagues and so much bad can happen
If you don’t do what’s right

Chorus:
So in the middle years, you’ve really gotta be careful of the cynics and sinners
Resist them and their lies and you’ll turn out the winner
But don't cower in your shell for four years straight
Live life and make mistakes, it’ll be okay
Keep them at tiny wrongs, don’t let them evolve for too long
‘Cuz the middle years are just the intro
To the main show

Verse:
Going to parties, letting loose, and having the time of your life
Just be on the lookout for those deer in the headlights
They are clueless, so they just follow the crowd
So if there’s turmoil on the ground, just hop onto a cloud

Pre-Chorus:
These could be the best years of your life,
if you do what’s right

Chorus:
So in the middle years, you’ve really gotta be careful of the cynics and sinners
Resist them and their lies and you’ll turn out the winner
But don't cower in your shell for four years straight
Live life and make mistakes, it’ll be okay
Keep them at tiny wrongs, don’t let them evolve for too long
‘Cuz the middle years are just the intro
To the main show

Bridge:
Please make me this promise that you’ll never lose faith in your dreams
And please never think that you’re nothing special ‘cuz you’re the only you
And I hope you know I’ll always be there for you through the fire and the rain

Chorus:
So in the middle years, you’ve really gotta be careful of the cynics and sinners
Resist them and their lies and you’ll turn out the winner
But don't cower in your shell for four years straight
Live life and make mistakes, it’ll be okay
Keep them at tiny wrongs, don’t let them evolve for too long
‘Cuz the middle years are just the intro
To the main show
