Halfway Home

Halfway Home

Platform nine between two cities
One shared charger on the wall
You say I should move west next year
I say you could move here this fall
We keep turning love to mileage
Keep score by who would give up more
Train announcement cuts between us
Like it has heard this fight before

Maybe nobody has to win
Maybe somebody has to sit down

Halfway Home, meet me where the lines cross
Halfway Home, not your loss, not my loss
I don't need my side if we still have a middle
Halfway Home, make the big thing little

Last train starts boarding slowly
You stand, then put your bag back down
Say you missed it by accident
We both know that's not how
Finally we stop negotiating
Start asking what would make a life
Not who sacrifices more
But how we carry equal weight tonight

Halfway Home, meet me where the lines cross
Halfway Home, not your loss, not my loss
I don't need my side if we still have a middle
Halfway Home, make the big thing little

You didn't miss the train
You chose five more minutes here
I don't need my side if we still have a middle
That shared charger held us both long enough to hear it

Halfway Home, maybe home can move
Halfway Home, maybe both can choose
I don't need my side if we still have a middle
Halfway Home, meet me there

Halfway Home
