Jimmy Eat World: In The Middle
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of theride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
1. Treat my body better - basically, keep working out, eat healthy, and stop telling myself mean things about my body. Love myself more.
2. Worry Less - honestly - I can see the worry lines starting already - I need to relax - maybe I need to start yoga or something.
3. Make more money and save more money! - moving home will help this but really - I need to do this.
4. Enjoy time more - time with friends, time alone, time with family.
5. Travel to atleast two countries and visit friends more - possibly somewhere in the mediterranean and australia; go to fla, cali, mi, boston, etc.
I think those are pretty reasonable.
To everyone else - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
