I've been runnin' round in circles for some time Looking for things I can't believe again Away from the lies, the lies, the lies I accept there might be nowhere to confide I just might end up alone again Inside the lie, the lie, the lie It's why I'm walkin' up the pines Like the middle man, like the middle man I'm walkin' up the pines Like the middle man, like the middle man Late nights they go get me so Keep me up till the morning sun You know that I need you I'm walkin' up the pines Like the middle man, like the middle man Oh yeah Off the line, I walk the line, did it all for you But I lost myself in a cloudy sky, in altitude But I paint myself on my own attraction I chase heat bills for my satisfaction I'll take the night again It's why I'm walkin' up the pines Like the middle man, like the middle man I'm walkin' up the pines Like the middle man, like the middle man Late nights they go get me so Keep me up till the morning sun You know that I need you I'm walkin' up the pines Like the middle man, like the middle man Oh yeah
