Halfway home

Verse 1
You left your shoes by the doorway
Like you’d be coming back soon
There’s still a dent in the pillow
Shaped like the side of you

I tried to open the windows
Let all the silence escape
But it just lingers in corners
Saying your name

Pre-Chorus
And I don’t know how to let it go
When every room feels like you

Chorus
I’m halfway home, but I don’t know where that is
Driving slow through streets we used to miss
Every song sounds like something you’d say
And I keep turning it up anyway

If I’m moving on, why do I feel like this?
Like I lost more than I ever had to give
I’m halfway home, but I’m still stuck on you

Verse 2
You used to talk in the morning
Hair falling into your eyes
Said you were scared of the future
But never told me why

I thought we had it together
Something steady and true
But now I’m holding the pieces
And none of them move

Pre-Chorus
And I replay every word you said
Like it might change the truth

Chorus
I’m halfway home, but I don’t know where that is
Driving slow through streets we used to miss
Every song sounds like something you’d say
And I keep turning it up anyway

If I’m moving on, why do I feel like this?
Like I lost more than I ever had to give
I’m halfway home, but I’m still stuck on you

Bridge (slightly raw, building)
Maybe I held on too tight
Maybe you needed the space
Maybe we both saw it coming
But didn’t say it out loud

And I hate how you’re fine
Like it didn’t break you in two
‘Cause I’m still here in the silence
Talking to you

Final Chorus (bigger, emotional)
I’m halfway home, but I don’t know where that is
Every road just leads me back again
To the nights we swore we wouldn’t change
Now I don’t even know your name

If I’m moving on, why do I feel like this?
Like I’m stuck in a life I didn’t pick
I’m halfway home…

Outro (soft, stripped)
But I’m still stuck on you
Yeah, I’m still stuck on you

Soft rock / folk-pop with warm acoustic guitar, light electric elements, and emotional vocals
