lyrics

Halfway

You bury your face love, you lay in the dark
give up and roll over, you kick at the stars
you pray on your knees when the world’s got you beat
but halfway is no way to get back on your feet

One final journey, you spoke of too soon
that sugar will send you halfway to the moon
you say you’ll just have a little, it’s pretty weak stuff
but halfway is no way to give something up

A family I knew well lived in a big house
but the man met another when they went out of town
Who would he think of when he’d lay in her bed?
Halfway is no way to love who you wed

Halfway, halfway
As long as I’m here I’ll be headed somewhere
And I don’t wanna end up halfway

The kid who’s so worried just wants to feel safe
he stays in his room, everyone stays away
and though he’s never bothered, no one sees his light
no way but halfway has ever felt right

Halfway, halfway
As long as I’m here I’ll be headed somewhere
And I don’t wanna end up halfway
