Country music star Maren Morris‘ “The Middle” collaboration with Zedd and Grey has totally been killing it on the pop charts. In celebration, Morris grabbed her guitar and gave fans an acoustic version they never knew they needed. Enjoy her stripped down performance below!
Morris totally killed it— her vocals are raw, sweet, and irresistible. Video comments read “Obsessed,” “You’re amazing, I just love you ah!”, and enough heart-eye emojis to make the world go ’round. A lot of comments even said they preferred the acoustic version over the original. I think we can all agree, Maren has mad talent. Another fan adds, “you are everything” and we completely endorse that statement.
In early April, the Texan topped Billboard’s ‘Top Pop Songs’ chart with “The Middle” and has also taken the top spot on Billboard’s ‘Country Airplay’ chart in the past with “I Could Use a Love Song” and her “Craving You” duet with Thomas Rhett. This feat made her only the sixth artist in Billboard history to have topped both charts.
Coming up this summer, the country star will be joining Niall Horan on his Flicker World Tour which will hit New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States.
Sing along to Maren’s “The Middle” with the lyrics below:
[Verse 1: Maren Morris]
Take a seat
Right over there, sat on the stairs
Stay or leave
The cabinets are bare, and I’m unaware
Of just how we got into this mess, got so aggressive
I know we meant all good intentions
[Pre-Chorus: Maren Morris]
So pull me closer
Why don’t you pull me close?
Why don’t you come on over?
I can’t just let you go
[Chorus: Maren Morris]
Oh baby, why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle
Baby, why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle
[Verse 2: Maren Morris]
Ohh, take a step
Back for a minute, into the kitchen
Floors are wet
And taps are still running, dishes are broken
How did we get into this mess? Got so aggressive
I know we meant all good intentions
[Pre-Chorus: Maren Morris]
So pull me closer
Why don’t you pull me close
Why don’t you come on over
I can’t just let you go, oh
[Chorus: Maren Morris]
Oh baby, why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle
[Bridge: Maren Morris]
Looking at you, I can’t lie
Just pouring out admission
Regardless of my objection, oh, oh
And it’s not about my pride
I need you on my skin
Just come over, pull me in, just
[Chorus: Maren Morris]
Oh, baby, why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
In the middle, no no no
Baby, why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
Oh yeah, I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle?
Oh, in the middle
Baby-y-y, why don’t you just meet me in the middle, baby?
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle, middle?
In the middle, middle
