DeeExpus - Half Way Home lyrics
We sit together In I.T. cla** Me and her In nineteen eighty something Bits and bytes Playing second drum To our own curriculum We laugh and we joke We live on a prayer So early days No burden, no care Everyone Is in awe of her Perfect beauty, I swear I swear Behind the smile And beautiful eyes A pain lies dormant A deep hurt resides She didn't know it Couldn't have a clue What lay in store And what she might do She's only half way home She's not yet half way home (School ends) Time and Tides go by, my parted friend We Meet again, coincidence and chance Quietly, 37 candles burn She's only half way, only half way Tragedies affect all of us in different ways Some people might react to stress immediately Others may not react until later Some people may feel higher levels of feat or relive past experiences It's common for people who have experienced a tragedy To feel a sense of loss, helplessness or numbness for a period of time They may feel nervous or on edge Some people may have troubling memories or difficulty sleeping or concentrating Many may not recognize that these reactions are related to the stressful event She stands in her wedding dress on a cold Saint Stephen's day Las Vegas for her honey moon New Year in the USA A whole new life with him 'Til d**h it does them part Hides her problems underneath her veil Gonna be a brand new start Everything appears right for her On the surface it seems at least All the demons exorcised She's tamed the hidden beast But the rats of paranoia gnawing on her mind Emerging from the darkness How could she be so blind? She stands broken on the viaduct on a cold and lonely night Holds her wedding band into her palm She feels the edges bite Salt water and mascara stroke the canvas of her face A blurred painting in a gallery That she doesn't seem to place The weather vane creaking to her right, suggests, persuades, directs The taxis drift behind her A cortège of funeral guests She takes one last look into herself, what she's become The penultimate rush of finality, here yet only half way home Didn't we see her not half way home? Painted in waves where she lay finally alone All I could see was the child I'd known Close enough yet only half way home Didn't we see her not half way home? Painted in waves where she lay (All I could see was the child I'd known) She's fading, she's fading (She's close enough, close enough) Yet only half way home Half way home Half way home Half way home Yet only half way home
