"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World
Backstory of this song: A high school girl e-mailed the band saying that she didn't feel like she fit in at her high school, because she was not punk enough. The band wrote this song as a response to be yourself. Jimmy Eat World didn't think it would be a hit, and it almost didn't make the album. The bandmembers thought it was too simple of a song to have mass appeal.

There are times when a song perfectly describes a mood, feeling, or just in general seems to understand your current existence. Since moving to El Salvador, that song has been "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World. There are times when I feel like I should be more settled and further than I am. Our house still has bare, white walls. Even though school has started, I still do not have everything up in my classroom. There are feelings too, like everyone else is forming frienships faster than I am. There are times when I have just needed the chorus of "The Middle" to tell me that it is going to take some time, and that everything, everything will be all right and be just fine. Here are how my socially anxious thoughts fit in with the lyrics of "The Middle."
