[Verse 1]
I've been thinking lately how to get you off my line
Don't seem all that easy, but it feels alright
I've gotten rid of expectations that I used to have
And we don't get along, oh, it really ain't that bad, yeah

[Chorus]
Somewhere in between the blue and the red
"This is temporary," that's all she said now
Someday things may be a little better than before
All these mysteries and they're knocking at my door

[Verse 2]
Alone in my room, I lay awake and dream
Sleeping half awake, I got to try to explain
That I don't need your love and it means this much to me
I don't need your love, woman, won't you see

[Chorus]
That I'm somewhere in between the blue and the red?
"This is temporary," that's all she said now
Someday things may be a little better than before
All these mysteries and they're knocking at my door

[Bridge]
She must not realize
What this means to me
I figured out her disguise
Hey, mama, I'm not dreaming, nah
[Verse 3]
I've been thinking lately how to get you off my line
Don't seem all that easy, but it feels alright
I got rid of expectations that I used to have
And we don't get along, no, it really ain't that bad, yeah

[Chorus]
Somewhere in between the blue and the red
"This is temporary," that's all she said now
Someday things may be a little better than before
All these mysteries and they're knocking at my door
