From the recording Letters for a Broken Heart
At the core of the record lies “Somewhere in the Middle,” the EP’s emotional thesis. Here, Alejandro articulates the tension between desire and ethical restraint with striking honesty. The song refuses easy conclusions, settling instead into a fragile truce between heart and mind. The “middle” becomes a space of survival rather than indecision—a place where feelings are acknowledged without demanding consequence. The acoustic guitar riff establishes a groove that allows its lyrical conflict to take center stage.
Lyrics
And in between all that I wanna make a stand
'Cause our chemistry's there, but I understand
You say misery hates company
And wildflowers just have a bed for one
So friends? I don't know...
And your heart? well it's taken...
I promised I wouldn't make things complicated
That I wouldn't set myself expectations no more
So meet me somewhere in the middle
Yeah, I still dream that I will get to know you
Somewhere in the middle
If you think wanna get to know me
And if heaven above us
Sets us in the same universe
Maybe we push us past the middle
Right now I'm happy with the middle
I'm just a poet, very far away
Writing letters for your broken heart
But I have nothing else I wanna say
Other than those times that I'm with you
Meet me somewhere in the middle
Yeah, I still dream that I will get to know you
Somewhere in the middle
If you think wanna get to know me
And if heaven above us
Sets us in the same universe
Maybe it'll push us past the middle
But I am happy with the middle
So meet me somewhere in the middle
Yeah, I still dream that I will get to know you
Somewhere in the middle
If you think wanna get to know me
And if heaven above us
Sets us in the same universe
Maybe it'll push us past the middle
But I am happy with the middle
