From the recording Nothing in the Middle
(Tom, Jagoda, Amy and I were standing in our kitchen having a conversation doing the dinner dishes and one of us said the line, "what if I don't wanna give up my story?" and another one of us said, I think that's a song...an hour later, it was.)
Lyrics
I don’t wanna give up my story
I don’t wanna give up my pride
I don’t wanna give you the glory
If I could I woulda let you inside
I don’t wanna give up my story
I don’t wanna give up my lie
I don’t wanna let you explore me
But I don’t wanna tell you why
Peel back the layers
What do you see
Nothin in the middle but me
If I had to give up my story
If I could give it to you
Would you hold on to it for me
Would you know what to do with the truth
Cause if you unravel my story
Will you be ok when you see
Or do you think you’re gonna be sorry
When there’s nothing in the middle but me
