Lyrics
Neither Here Nor There
You buy me flowers when I want you to go away
When I see you with another girl I wish you would have stayed
When you come crawling on your knees I don't know what to do
I just send you walking cuz baby I don't have a clue
When one of us makes up our mind
The other one runs, leaves the first one left behind
Like position and velocity we're quite a pair
When one is love the other's unaware
What's the use, who gives a care
The state of our love is neither here nor there
I'm standing right here while you're running around over there
I'm crying for you and you're laughing like you don't care
The tragedy is that I'm the one who sent you away
Cuz you told me that you'd love me 'til your dying day
When one of us makes up our mind
The other one runs, leaves the first one left behind
Like position and velocity we're quite a pair
When one is love the other's unaware
What's the use, who gives a care
The state of our love is neither here nor there
Whether or not we're in love is an uncertainty
It's a matter of principle that we'll both never see
There doesn't seem to be an equation to figure it out
This particular situation of true love and doubt
When one of us makes up our mind
The other one runs, leaves the first one left behind
Like position and velocity we're quite a pair
When one is love the other's unaware
What's the use, who gives a care
The state of our love is neither here nor there
