This song just came up on my Amazon music. It's the first of Frank's songs I've heard and might now be my all-time favorite. I read through the lyrics and it resonated so very hard with me... everything but the age it all started fit perfectly.
Welcome to Frank’s music, I was hooked after one song and have spent the last five years acquiring albums and loving the music. Hope you enjoy getting to know more Of Frank’s music.
just read the lyrics to somewhere in-between..... brings tears to my eyes, so much pain, so much honesty, so much longing....thanks Frank for sharing this
[Verse 1] I've been pretending to be somebody else since I was just fifteen And I don't know if the show was for them or for me Any more, I'm not sure, and I don't recall being born But I remember being underwhelmed when I worked out who I was Because that didn't fit with any of The feelings I'd been feeling, the things I started thinking as a kid Who didn't know how to feel, but could instinctively pretend Put on a show. Was it for them? I have forgotten where this ends [Chorus] Blinking in the light, emerging into something Something isn't right, something isn't working No one on my side, no sense of where I'm standing Half my fucking life caught somewhere in-between [Verse 2] I have been waiting for someone to say they've found out I'm a fake A foundling fraudster on the take, a huckster hustling half his name Around the world, and I'd reply, goodness knows you're right I know that guy, that is to say, I do not know that man at all After all, no one can, there's nothing there to know It's just a show, oh the lights are on but nobody is home They kicked me out years ago, changed the locks and took my keys My memories seen through a window, like something I don't really own [Chorus] Blinking in the light, emerging into something Something isn't right, something isn't working No one on my side, no sense of where I'm standing Half my fucking life caught somewhere in-between [Bridge] Is it so much to ask? To be offered some protection To be let go by the past, to feel some acceptance To find somewhere to belong, and something to belong to A place where I'm allowed. Anywhere but in-between [Outro] Half my fucking life blinking in the darkness Stuck on the outside, sick and mostly harmless A stranger to myself, but still chasing their forgiveness For anything I did when I was somewhere in-between Always somewhere in-between
Such a great song... I highly recommend checking out the version on the recently released acoustic version of the Undefeated album, it's even better there.
Finally got around to listening to this new masterpiece today. I enjoyed it but jeeze this song knocked me for six. I've spent the past 4 years rethinking my life, every word rings true. I could feel my eyes welling up on the last verse. Thank you Frank, your music has been a part of more than "half my fucking life" and it's all the better for it! ❤

[Verse 1]
I've been pretending to be somebody else since I was just fifteen
And I don't know if the show was for them or for me
Any more, I'm not sure, and I don't recall being born
But I remember being underwhelmed when I worked out who I was
Because that didn't fit with any of
The feelings I'd been feeling, the things I started thinking as a kid
Who didn't know how to feel, but could instinctively pretend
Put on a show. Was it for them? I have forgotten where this ends
[Chorus]
Blinking in the light, emerging into something
Something isn't right, something isn't working
No one on my side, no sense of where I'm standing
Half my fucking life caught somewhere in-between
[Verse 2]
I have been waiting for someone to say they've found out I'm a fake
A foundling fraudster on the take, a huckster hustling half his name
Around the world, and I'd reply, goodness knows you're right
I know that guy, that is to say, I do not know that man at all
After all, no one can, there's nothing there to know
It's just a show, oh the lights are on but nobody is home
They kicked me out years ago, changed the locks and took my keys
My memories seen through a window, like something I don't really own
[Chorus]
Blinking in the light, emerging into something
Something isn't right, something isn't working
No one on my side, no sense of where I'm standing
Half my fucking life caught somewhere in-between
[Bridge]
Is it so much to ask? To be offered some protection
To be let go by the past, to feel some acceptance
To find somewhere to belong, and something to belong to
A place where I'm allowed. Anywhere but in-between
[Outro]
Half my fucking life blinking in the darkness
Stuck on the outside, sick and mostly harmless
A stranger to myself, but still chasing their forgiveness
For anything I did when I was somewhere in-between
Always somewhere in-between
I just heard this on tv show called Sunday Brunch. I could see the emotion in Frank face and body language. I felt it and so had to listen again👍🏼✌🏼
My god, what beautiful noises Frank Turner makes.
This and East Finchley. Best songs on the album.
I am so ready to hear this album live! 🤗
Strong Frightened Rabbit Vibes here. Love it.
He’s back let’s f***ing go
I’ve followed Frank for so long, by my word, this might be the best song he’s ever written.
Outstanding. The album is a belter
Such a great song... I highly recommend checking out the version on the recently released acoustic version of the Undefeated album, it's even better there.
Frank Turner your music is incredible
What a perfect song about imposter syndrome. Thank you, Frank! 💕

And then Frank accidentally (?) wrote an anthem for everyone diagnosed as ND in their 30s.
Exactly!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing, fits so well.
As someone diagnosed autistic at 30 I 100% agree. It was probably accidental but I like to believe it wasn’t lol.
I’m fully convinced that anyone who this song doesn’t touch deeply is a sociopath.
That’s a bit more like it.
