Was it ever, a little treasure on the island, though?
We came together, in the middle of a giant storm.
Have you ever, dug your way out of a rabbit’s hole?
And for your troubles, did you find them after all?
I doubt we’d ever know, if we tested every door.
It doesn’t really feel like it’s clever anymore.
And just because you know how much it stings,
you’re never gonna see, the middle side of me.
Mmm...the middle side of me.
No you’re never gonna see.
We come together, little treasures on the island, though.
And for the better, never speak until the tide has rolled.
I doubt we’d ever know, if we tested every door.
It doesn’t really seem, it’s like that any more.
And just because you know just what it brings,
you’re never gonna see, the middle side of me.
The middle side of me.
No, you’re never gonna see
the middle side of me.
