So you think you're in the middle of the ocean

Stranded on an island of your own

Or stuck in the top of a mountain

Either way you're gonna say you're all alone

And I hesitate to say that you're a liar

I never tell the truth myself

But I tried to chase you down and I got tired

So I'm leaving you to you or someone else

‘Cuz you never wanna hook up in the middle

And I'd meet you there to talk if you would show

But you answer every question with a riddle

And refuse to even choose to let me go

It used to be I'd tell you all my secrets

Giving you the credit you deserve

I guess you didn't care to lose or keep it

And we never quite connected from the first

And I wish I had a way to make it better

To rearrange the world and make you smile

But it's dumb to even think I had that power

And we haven't been that close in a while

And I don't even wanna try to name it

Explain it for the one who couldn't care

‘Cuz all that matters is the way you choose to frame it

And I hesitate to say that you're a liar

I never tell the truth myself

But I tried to chase you down and I got tired

So I'm leaving you to you or someone else

‘Cuz you never wanna hook up in the middle

And I'd meet you there to talk if you would show

But you answer every question with a riddle

And refuse to even choose to let me go
