Halfway to Houston
Journey to Self-Discovery: Halfway to Houston
Lyrics
I was up before the sun that morning
I woke up early in the morning before sunrise.
Tip toeing on eggshells and packing up my car
I was being cautious and careful while quietly preparing to leave, packing my car.
The key was on the counter when I locked the door behind me
The key was left on the counter when I locked the door, symbolizing a decisive departure.
So I wouldn't have the chance to change my mind
To prevent second thoughts, I quickly left without giving myself a chance to reconsider.
And I was halfway to Houston
I had covered a significant distance towards Houston.
By the time that he woke up
He woke up only when I was already halfway to Houston.
Did he wonder was I coming back
Did he wonder if I would return or was he relieved to see me gone?
Or was he glad to see me gone
Reflecting on his potential reactions to my departure.
I was trying not to turn that car around
I struggled not to turn back and change my decision.
I was halfway to Houston
I was still in the process of heading towards Houston.
When I broke down
I experienced a breakdown or emotional crisis on the way.
I guess you could say that nothing happened
No significant events occurred during the departure.
That's not the same as saying nothing was wrong
While nothing tangible happened, it doesn't mean there were no underlying issues.
How could we not notice a tender touch turned cold
Noticing a change in the relationship - a once tender touch became cold.
It takes time to build a callous thick enough
Building emotional resilience takes time.
I was halfway to Houston
I continued my journey towards Houston.
By the time that he woke up
He woke up after I had covered a significant distance.
Did he wonder was I coming back
Speculating on his thoughts about my potential return.
Or was he glad to see me gone
Reflecting on whether he was happy to see me leave.
I was trying not to turn that car around
I struggled not to turn back and reconsider.
I was halfway to Houston
I was still in the process of heading towards Houston.
When I broke down
Experiencing an emotional breakdown during the journey.
For the first time in a long time
After a long time, I had the opportunity to assess my own needs.
I had the chance to ask myself just what I needed
The interstate provided clarity and space for self-reflection.
The interstate gave me space to see it
Each mile brought a gradual reduction in emotional pain.
Every mile hurt a little less
I continued my journey towards Houston.
I was halfway to Houston
He woke up after I had covered a significant distance.
By the time that he woke up
Speculating on his thoughts about my potential return.
Did he wonder was I coming back
Reflecting on whether he was happy to see me leave.
Or was he glad to see me gone
I knew there was no turning back from my decision.
I knew there was no turnin' around
I was still in the process of heading towards Houston.
I was halfway to Houston
I reached the midpoint of the journey.
Halfway to Houston
Emphasizing the distance covered, indicating a point of no return.
Halfway to Houston
Repetition of the distance covered towards Houston.
When I broke down
I experienced a breakdown at this point in the journey.
