[Chorus: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, full chest, belted] Meet you in the middle, I'll run my half Wind in my face and I ain't turning back Every mile between us I can cut in two Meet you in the middle, I'm running to you [Verse 1: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, rasp-throated, urgent] First anniversary, table for two Candles on the other side of the river from you Then the sky came down in a wall of white Trains stopped dead at a quarter to nine Bridges closed to cars and the cabs all gone Phone at two percent and the snow coming on Typed I'm coming and I hit send You typed I'm coming, then the screen went dead [Chorus: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, full chest, belted] Meet you in the middle, I'll run my half Wind in my face and I ain't turning back Every mile between us I can cut in two Meet you in the middle, I'm running to you [Verse 2: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, rasp-throated, running] Snow to my knees on the avenue Every street light buried and the wind cutting through Hit the bridge stairs taking two at a time Ice on the rail and the wind on the climb Cars all stuck with their hazards on Truckers waving out the window, go on, son River underneath like a black wide road Running on a promise and a heart full of snow [Bridge: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, slow-motion half-time, the band drops to half-time for four bars, then explodes back to full speed] Then I see a red coat coming through the gray Same red coat that you wore that day You were running too, from the other side Neither one of us waited, neither one of us tried To be the one who stays, to be the one who's warm Both of us out in the middle of the storm [Verse 3: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, rasp-throated, all the way up] Middle lamp post and the snow coming down Two dead phones and no one else around Grabbed your face and your lips were ice Best anniversary, worth it twice Didn't make the table, didn't make the wine Made it to the middle at the same time [Final Chorus: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, full chest, belted, everything up] Meet you in the middle, I'll run my half Wind in my face and I ain't turning back Every mile between us I can cut in two Meet you in the middle, I'm running to you [Outro: Rasp-throated arena-rock male lead, rasp-throated, guitars ring out and fade] Middle of the bridge Middle of the storm, you and me [End]
