Halfway to Paradise
Love's Elusive Dance: Halfway to Paradise by Sandy Posey
Lyrics
I want to be your lover
I desire to be your romantic partner
But your friend is all I've stayed
However, I have remained only as your friend
I'm only halfway to paradise
I feel like I'm only halfway to achieving a state of paradise or happiness
So near, yet so far away
Despite being close, there is still a significant emotional distance
I long for your lips to kiss my lips
I yearn for your lips to touch mine
But just when I think they may
However, just when I sense the possibility, something interferes
You lead me halfway to paradise
You guide me only halfway towards the bliss of paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm
Despite being close, there's still a considerable emotional gap
Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
Being near you feels like a heavenly experience
But seein' you can do just so much
However, merely seeing you has its limitations
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
It pains me to know that your heart is a valuable treasure
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
Yet, my heart is forbidden to touch or access that treasure
Put your sweet lips close to my lips
Place your sweet lips close to mine
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Confirm that they will remain there
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Don't lead me only halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away
Despite being near, there's still a significant emotional distance
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
Expressing the emotional frustration of being close yet far away
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
Reiteration of the emotional proximity and distance
