Halfway To Almost

[Verse 1]
Coffee’s gone cold
You’re tracing rings on the table
Laughing at nothing
Like you’re scared to look up
I say “it’s getting late”
You say “yeah
We should probably”
But nobody moves
Like the floor might give up
[Chorus]
I’m halfway to almost loving you
Scared of the fall
Still leaning through
If I say “stay
” will you disappear?
I want you close
And that’s what I fear
Breathing your name out under my breath
Waiting on maybe
Bracing for wreck
Holding your hand like it’s gonna break
I’m halfway to almost
Which risk do we take?
[Verse 2]
Your jacket on mine
Hanging side by side by the doorway
Feels like a promise
That neither of us made
You joke “we’re a mess”
I say “yeah
But it fits us”
You look at the floor
Like the truth’s on display
[Bridge]
What if we try and ruin it?
What if we run and lose it?
You say “I’m bad at trusting”
I say “me too
So choose it”
Silence between us
Humming low
Eyes say “stay”
Lips say “go”
[Chorus]
I’m halfway to almost loving you
Scared of the fall
Still leaning through
If I let go
Will you pull me near?
I want you close
And that’s what I fear
Breathing your name out under my breath
Waiting on maybe
Bracing for wreck
Holding your hand like it’s gonna break
I’m halfway to almost
Which risk do we take?

Dusty lo-fi beat with soft sidechain pump, male vocals close and whispery. Fingerpicked guitar loop and mellow electric piano set a late-night mood; subtle vinyl crackle and distant pitched vocal chops weave in. Chorus widens with gentle stacked harmonies and round bass, bridge strips down to just guitar and voice before the drums bloom back in for the final hook.
