Half Way
Half Way Home: Navigating Love's Journey with Cardinal Black
Lyrics
Turn your head around just to see the long way down
Turning one's head to observe the considerable descent, metaphorically reflecting on a challenging situation.
Catch a glimpse of the way that I'm feeling
Glimpsing the emotions or mood that the speaker is experiencing.
Occupy your head and heart
Filling your thoughts and emotions with something significant.
You always had my sense of screaming
Acknowledging the listener's understanding of the speaker's intense feelings.
Take a look at this childlike dreaming
Examining an optimistic, childlike imagination or aspiration.
You pick me out of the mess I'm in
Selecting the speaker from a chaotic situation.
You make me feel 6 feet 10
Boosting the speaker's confidence and making them feel tall and powerful.
A second chance at this one life stand
Getting another opportunity at a significant moment in life.
Half way from this world of mine
Being halfway between the speaker's current reality and a desired state.
Half way to your state of mind
Existing midway between the speaker's world and the listener's state of mind.
Half way from this world of mine
Similar to line #9, emphasizing the transitional state between two situations.
Half way and I'm half way home
Being halfway and feeling a sense of belonging or comfort.
You always had the book on me
The listener always understanding the speaker deeply.
Had the literacy to read me
Possessing the ability to comprehend the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
I can never be anything more
Accepting a limitation or understanding that the speaker can't be more than what they are.
Than the space between your lines
Being defined by the listener, existing in the space they provide.
Your touch, your taste, your beautiful hair
Appreciating sensory details of the listener, such as touch, taste, and appearance.
And the way you hold that come-back stare
Noting the way the listener looks back with a confident or defiant expression.
I can't be anything without you girl
Expressing dependence on the listener for identity or significance.
Half way from this world of mine
Being halfway between the speaker's current reality and a desired state (repeated).
Half way to your state of mind
Existing midway between the speaker's world and the listener's state of mind (repeated).
Half way from this world of mine
Similar to line #20, emphasizing the transitional state between two situations (repeated).
Half way and I'm half way home
Being halfway and feeling a sense of belonging or comfort (repeated).
Oh, when it all comes down around me
Anticipating a challenging situation and expressing determination to pursue the listener.
Just know that I'm running just to make you mine
Assuring the listener that the speaker is working hard to win their affection.
Keep your head up above this dirty water
Encouraging the listener to stay above difficulties or challenges.
And pretty soon we'll be swimming in the open tide
Believing that soon they will enjoy shared success and prosperity.
Don't remember how it seems, just remember how it feels
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the emotional experience rather than specific details.
Half way from this world of mine
Being halfway between the speaker's current reality and a desired state (repeated).
Half way to your state of mind
Existing midway between the speaker's world and the listener's state of mind (repeated).
Half way from this world of mine
Similar to line #29, emphasizing the transitional state between two situations (repeated).
Half way and I'm half way home
Being halfway and feeling a sense of belonging or comfort (repeated).
