Middle of Nowhere Lyrics
Don't get mad if I'm laughing
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 AM phone calls
I haven't slept a single night in over a month
And not even once did you start to make sense to me
Well, maybe I'm a little bit slow, or just consistently inconsistent
She said, "unpredictability's my responsibility, baby."
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
They chewed me up and then they spit me out
And I'm not supposed to let it bother me
But maybe I'm a little bit weak - I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, "Maybe there's a bit of me waiting for a bit of you, baby."
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 AM phone calls
I haven't slept a single night in over a month
And not even once did you start to make sense to me
Well, maybe I'm a little bit slow, or just consistently inconsistent
She said, "unpredictability's my responsibility, baby."
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
And I'm not supposed to let it bother me
But maybe I'm a little bit weak - I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, "Maybe there's a bit of me waiting for a bit of you, baby."
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere

"they chewed me up and then they spit me out and I'm not supposed to let it bother me but maybe I'm a little bit weak I let my frailty take the wheel she said: "maybe there's a bit of me waiting for a bit of you, baby,'"
seems to me to be about a guy who is dealing with a lot of shit lately(unable to sleep or think straight), but the girl being sung about tries to reassure him, and goes out of her way to be there for him. she's his calm center trying to prove she cares by being there for him even when she "didn't have to." as for the middle of nowhere chorus, seems to mean she's meeting up with him so he can say or do something to show he cares as well, before he goes back off into the unknown weird shit he's dealing with the rest of the time. =P
I agree about it being laid-back and very beach music-like...it's got a lovely melody.
who else likes the little guitar solo towards the end of the song? i LOVE that part, it's excellent.
i won't ever stop liking this song. absolutely wonderful. so much fun to sing along to.
The most solid, all-around song on this album of catchy songs. Elevator is, in my mind, a success for HHH, improving on their basic sound and making it more steady and consistent.
Make Up The Breakdown at times lost itself, going off the deep end on tangents and vocal rampages. This album doesn't have any real moments like this- I like every song, even if I don't love every song, and the lead singer doesn't seem like he's trying too hard anymore.
This song, in particular, is pretty tempered and calm, but with great, expressive lyrics and catchy verses and choruses.
Hot Hot Heat is great...this is probably my favorite song of theirs. All their songs are exactly so...catchy. This song makes me feel easy and care-free and laid-back...
I love this song... It's very laid-back and has an easy flow to it that's really cool... The video for "Middle Of Nowhere" is also v. good!
I love this song, it's so catchy and makes me feel so great. Such a wonderful song to listen to while driving, or to hang out at the beach. One of my favorite songs.
i totally agree with everyone who has commented so far...this is the best hot hot heat song!
This is one of those songs I could have the Chorus stuck in my head forever and ever, singing it over and over again, and not get tired of it. Great song.
Absolutely love this song. My fav on the album.
