The Middleman

[Verse 1]
Outsiders
Sometimes they get a better look
They get a view of the trees
Folks on the inside they get a better look
At the different shades of green
And from what we're told
It's either you're alive, dead, young or old
In, out, even, odd, bought, sold
I think I'll take sides with the middleman

[Chorus]
I am a river
I can split you
Drown you with my quick intuition
But I'm kind
I run wild it's alright
I'll be there when you end
Take you to where you began in time

[Bridge]
So hold on
Give all the love you got until it's gone
I'll hold on
And carry the love I've got until I fall

[Verse 2]
I know an honest man
By the look on his face
A liar by the shape of his words
And I can tell the highest born
Where his intention hides
Because I can see what he's worth
In the open sea
Bait for the animals

[Chorus]
I am a river
I can split you
Drown you with my quick intuition
But I'm kind
I run wild it's alright
I'll be there when you end
Take you to where you began in time

[Post-Chorus]
I provided you with life
I will take you to where you death resides
I will split your lot
Take you to places that you had forgotten

[Spoken]
You, you are the King of me

[Chorus]
I am a river
I can split you
Drown you with my quick intuition
But I'm kind
I run wild it's alright
I'll be there when you end
Take you to where you began in time

[Post-Chorus]
I'll never forget you
I carried you through time all along
I'll never forget you for all time
So hold fast in all that you do
And I'll stay true to the core
Is it for love
Is that what I'm running for?

[Refrain]
Is it for love
Is that what I'm running for?
Is it for love
Is that what I'm running for?
Is it for love
Is that what I'm running for?
