[Verse 1]
In the desert when I heard your name
In the desert sand where we would lay
In the desert sun I burned my face
You deserted me but you left the pain
When the sky turns into red
I'll be out here on my own
Don't forget I once called your heart my home
If the wind should ever change
Who's to say that you will still be the same
But neither will I

In the desert where I saw your smile
In the desert sand where we would play
In the desert heat my tears will dry
You deserted me when you walked away

[Hook]
Middle of nowhere
(I'm livin in the)
Middle of nowhere yeah
(Stuck here livin in the)
Middle of nowhere
Won't you come find me there ooh

[Verse 2]
In the desert where I lost my way
Where the wind blew sand and hid the road
Though the desert days are hard to bare
Still the desert nights are always cold

[Hook]
Middle of nowhere
(I'm livin in the)
Middle of nowhere yeah
(Stuck here livin in the)
Middle of nowhere
Won't you come find me there
Mmm

Tinashe

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
