  • I sit and think about the day that you're gonna die
    Your wrinkled eyes betray the joy with which you smile
    I care to see my reason, I care to put your life in mine

    Lookin' at life from the perspective of a boy
    Who's learned to love you but has also learned to grow
    Could we make it better, stormy weather?
    So hard to know

    Oh, oh, oh, is there anybody home?
    Who will believe me, won't deceive me
    Won't try to change me?

    Ah, ah, ah, is there anybody home?
    Who wants to have me just to love me?
    Stuck in the middle

    Uh check it out, uh check out

    I look at you, you look at me, we bite each other
    And with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter
    But my troops are bigger than yours
    'Cause you'll never stand my fight

    Ours is a family that's based upon tradition
    But with my careless words I tread upon your vision
    Are five kids better than one?
    Who doesn't like to be gone?

    Oh, oh, oh, is there anybody home?
    Who will believe me, won't deceive me
    Won't try to change me?

    Ah, ah, ah, is there anybody home?
    Who wants to have me just to love me?
    Stuck in the middle, yeah, yeah, yeah

    This is to my name
    This ain't a greater plan
    To break your heart of me

    I know that what I've started
    Means that when we have parted
    I can live in honesty

    Oh, oh, oh, is there anybody home?
    Who will believe me, won't deceive me
    Won't try to change me?

    Ah, ah, ah, is there anybody home?
    Who wants to have me just to love me?
    Stuck in the middle
