Halfway Home, Fully Lost

[Verse 1]
Boxes in my bedroom
Old band tees on the floor
Photos where I’m smiling
I don’t know that girl anymore
Calendar’s a checklist
“Be better” in black ink
I hit every little target
Still feel right on the brink
[Chorus]
Halfway home
Fully lost
I keep driving past my exit
All this time
All this cost
Still I’m scared I might regret it
Got one hand on the future
Other reaching for the past
Halfway home
Fully lost
How long can I live like that?
[Verse 2]
Parents at the table
Ask if I’m “doing fine”
I choke on the small talk
Wash it down with cheap red wine
Friends are getting married
Buying houses
Changing names
I’m scrolling through their pictures
Heart racing
Staying the same
[Chorus]
Halfway home
Fully lost
I keep driving past my exit
All this time
All this cost
Still I’m scared I might regret it
Got one hand on the future
Other reaching for the past
Halfway home
Fully lost
How long can I live like that?
[Bridge]
Maybe there’s a version of me
Sleeping in some other town (oh-oh)
Waking up easy
Not breaking on the come-down
If growing up means disappearing
Do I really wanna grow?
I’m standing in a hallway
Every door says “I don’t know”
[Chorus]
Halfway home
Fully lost
I keep driving past my exit
All this time
All this cost
Still I’m scared I might regret it
Got one hand on the future
Other reaching for the past
Halfway home
Fully lost
Guess being in between’s my map
