Halfway Between Your House and Mine

[Verse 1]
You: Missed my bus
So I just walked
Me: Missed your call
Let the screen stay locked
You: Kicked that stone down the same old street
Me: Read your name
Felt my ribs skip beats
You: You said “fine” but you meant “don’t go”
Me: I played dumb
Yeah I played it slow
You: I rehearsed what I’d like to say
Me: Threw it out
Called you anyway (hey!)
[Chorus]
Meet me halfway between your house and mine
On that cracked-up curb by the crooked sign
We can talk too loud
We can waste some time
Till the wrong words fade and the right ones rhyme
If we both get lost
We can change the line
Meet me halfway between your house and mine
[Verse 2]
Me: I show up
But I’m ten steps late
You: I pretend that I didn’t wait
Me: You laugh first
But your eyes look scared
You: Say “I’m fine” but I’m halfway there
Me: All my pride in a paper cup
You: All my “nevers” just giving up
Me: “I was wrong” tastes so sharp
So new
You: “I was too” slips out after you (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Meet me halfway between your house and mine
On that cracked-up curb by the crooked sign
We can talk too loud
We can waste some time
Till the wrong words fade and the right ones rhyme
If we both get lost
We can change the line
Meet me halfway between your house and mine
[Bridge]
You: What if we mess it up again?
Me: Then we get up
Start again
You: What if it all goes out of tune?
Me: Then we sing it wrong together
You
[Chorus]
Meet me halfway between your house and mine
Where your shaking hand finally finds my hand in time
We can walk too slow
We can cross that line
Let the old fights fall
Leave them all behind
If we both get lost
I’ll make this promise mine
I’ll meet you halfway
Between your house and mine

rock, Bright pop-punk duet over strummed acoustic guitar and percussive piano chords; verses trade quick-fire male/female lines in a call-and-response. Choruses hit with both vocals locked in tight harmonies, driving eighth-note guitar, and pounding left-hand piano for that anthemic push. Occasional gang-style shouts on key words; dynamic dips into half-time arpeggios then surges back into full-on singalong energy., pop punk, acoustic
