Halfway Heaven

[Verse 1]
[male vocals]
Met you in the checkout line
Coupons
Curlers
Silver hair shine
You laughed
Said
"Boy
You move too fast"
I said
"Teach me how to make it last"
[female vocals]
You got them new shoes
Brand new dreams
Scrollin' on that little screen
I got stories you ain't heard yet
Wrinkles where your future sits
[Chorus]
[both]
You from tomorrow
I'm from then
Meet in the middle
Touch my hand
Halfway heaven
Halfway grown
Same heartbeat
Different songs
You call it vibe
I call it soul
Still the same fire in the coals
Halfway heaven
Hold me close
New age
Old age
Same love
I suppose
[Verse 2]
[female vocals]
You say "Say less"
I say "Speak up"
You pour shots
I pour one cup
But you listen when my voice gets low
I lean in when your thunder rolls
[male vocals]
You dance slow in the living room
I move sharper
You move smooth
You count steps while I count views
But I'm lost if I'm not next to you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[call-and-response]
[male] Tell me what it cost you
All that time
[female] Cost me some nights
But it bought me my mind
[male] Show me how to hold on
Not just chase
[female] Kiss me right here
Let me trace your face
[both
[crescendo]]
You got future on your tongue
I got history in my lungs
Breathe in
Breathe out
Same air
Same sound
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[female]
Turn down the noise
Turn up this room
[male]
I’m learning slow
But I’m learning you
[both
Soft]
Halfway heaven
Where we meet
Your young heart
My old heartbeat

Silky R&B duet with male and female vocals trading phrases over warm Rhodes, soft pad swells, and a deep, round bass. Verses stay intimate and conversational; choruses bloom with stacked harmonies, call-and-response ad-libs, and subtle choir textures. Light percussion and rim clicks in the pocket, a gentle guitar answering the vocals, with a late-song key change lift for extra glow., r&b, new age
