In the Middle (for mAx) In the middle of your night I am eating my lunch In front of a monitor Surfing the net In the middle of my night You are eating your dinner Composing more e- mail For me to wake up to In the middle of my spring You are feeling the autumn With days getting shorter Face taut from the cold In the middle of it all Lies the path to our center We can never be more than Half a world a world away.
