LYRICS
You

You think its cool to be crazy

I say you’re born rich

Stay rich
There’s no point in taking chances

And me

I wouldn’t call it a sophomore slump

I’d say I’m one step closer to being just Where I want

To be
Away from this scene

Away from this machine

Meet me in the middle
C’mon lets make up a dance

and we'll agree to call it the compromise

Step one:
Find a partner
Grab a pen

Don’t you dare ask questions
Just sign on the dotted line
Step two:
Throw your partner behind a desk
Where they’ll do absolutely nothing
So it's your job to dance and smile
The whole time

Don’t call it a trend

It’s the only way we think to get ahead
Meet me in the middle
C’mon lets make up a dance

and we'll agree to call it the compromise
There’s no sense in complaining

It doesn’t change our mind
Take me by the hand

Let’s compromise

I can feel your feet touching mine

If you can’t dance

There’s someone else in line
