Halfway To You

You lean on my shoulder. Laugh at joke that I don't get. I memorize your profile. Like a habit I can't quit. You talk about somebody. Eyes bright, Like they're catching sun. I nod like I'm not breaking. Pretend I'm just having fun. I'm always halfway to you. Standing right here. Still out of view. Saying everything we could chew. Could never look up, Never see through. I'm always halfway to you. Stuck in this almost, almost with you. You call me past midnight. And say you're scared to sleep alone. I listen to your breathing. Trace your name on my phone. You ask what I'm thinking. I just laugh and change the scene. How do I say I love you? When I live in your in-between. I'm always halfway to you. Standing right here. Still out of view. Saying everything we could chew. Could never look up, Never see through. I'm always halfway to you. Stuck in this almost, almost with you. One day I'll stop rehearsing. All the words I never said. Maybe I'll learn to loosen. All the knots your name's still made. I'm always halfway to you. Standing right here. Still out of view. Saying everything we could chew. Could never look up, Never see through. I'm always halfway to you. Stuck in this almost, almost with you. Almost with you.
