lyrics

(halfway)

I have been standing at the middle of this for eleven months
Not moving forward, not going back, just holding a position
And you keep saying soon in a voice that means never
And I keep saying fine in a voice that means please

And I am not going to ask again
I am genuinely not going to ask again
This is the last time I am standing in the middle of anything

Meet me halfway or don't, halfway or don't
I have run out of ways to make this sound casual
Meet me halfway or don't, halfway or don't
And I will be fine either way, which is new, which is the point

You said you were scared. I said I know. I am also scared.
The difference is I am scared and standing here anyway.

Meet me halfway or don't, halfway or don't
I have run out of ways to make this sound casual
Meet me halfway or don't, halfway or don't
And I will be fine either way, which is new, which is the point

(either way)
