MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
Out to the sea I throw my dreams
It will bring them back to me
Me and my friend, time suspends
We are seventeen.
I don’t know my name, don’t know the time
But I know I’m here
And I’m gonna watch the sun go down
Chorus
In the middle of nowhere I know myself
And if the barrel is empty I am very well, very well
In the middle of nowhere I know myself
What’s a barrel a week?
What’s a barrel a week...
And now from the grave I hear my Ma
She is calling to me
Baby be brave, baby be hard
This is how you must be
So that is why I live my life
Like my days are dying
And I never turn out the light.
Repeat Chorus
At the end of the night I close my eyes
And I hear these voices
“Ella be cool, Ella be wise, you make clever choices”
So that is why I live my life
Like there’s no tomorrow
And I’m gonna watch the sun come up
Repeat chorus
And I’m gonna watch the sun go down...
