Lyric discussion by Woeke 

Cover art for Strong lyrics by London Grammar

To me these lyrics express the thoughts and feelings of a person who has an ideal picture of how love should work out in life. Now (s)he is in a relationship and has fallen in love with someone else, caught in the middle between to lovers. The 'other' person is the intruder in the relationship (you're caught in the middle).
