[English]

Just because I can't put my finger on the problem

Doesn't mean there ain't a problem

We're so quick to think history could just solve 'em

Don't you think we would've solved them by now?

I gave you what you wanted

Moved East right after college

But nothing filled the space

I called you heavy-hearted

Moved West the end of August

So I could find a place

But maybe I need ya

'Cause it's harder than I thought

Baby, I need ya

But you always want too much

Oh, fuck it, I need ya

And I really turned the knife

But I miss it when it's dark, aah

Aah, somewhere between love

Aah, got feelings I don't trust

Aah, right in between love

Aah, stuck

I get so possessive when I see you happy

But I want you to be happy

I get so conflicted when I see you without me

Are you better off without me?

Don't you know, you gave me what I wanted

So quiet in the morning

Just you and I could fill the space

Lately I start to notice

I've been missing all the little moments

By now I thought I'd be okay

But maybe I need ya

'Cause it's harder than I thought

Baby, I need ya

But you always want too much

Oh, fuck it, I need ya

And I'm really trying tonight

But I miss it when it's dark, aah

Aah, somewhere between love

Aah, got feelings I don't trust

Aah, right in between love

Aah, I'm stuck

Stuck inside this feeling, baby

Stuck inside this love

Stuck inside a moment, baby

Can we give it up?

Stuck inside this feeling, baby

Stuck inside this love

Stuck inside a moment, baby

Can we give it up?

Aah, somewhere between love

Aah, got feelings I don't trust

Aah, right in between love

Aah, stuck
