Halfway to Forever

[Verse 1]
Forty candles
Melted down on the counter
Phone lit up
With a name I don't answer
Same old story
Swipe right on a ghost
Lying here wondering
Is this all I get
This close?
[Chorus]
I'm halfway to forever
Still hiding in the dark of my room
Scared that if you see me
You'll turn and walk out too soon
I keep saying I'll be braver
But I freeze when someone touches my hand
I'm halfway to forever
Terrified of being who I am
[Verse 2]
Mom keeps asking
"Anyone special these days?"
I laugh it off
Change the subject
Pour the wine
Fade away
Friends got husbands
Kids and chaos and rings
I got playlists
And a heart that still flinches at things
[Chorus]
I'm halfway to forever
Still hiding in the dark of my room
Scared that if you see me
You'll turn and walk out too soon
I keep saying I'll be braver
But I choke when someone calls me "my man"
I'm halfway to forever
Terrified of being who I am
[Bridge]
What if there's a boy
Sitting alone like me
Leaving space on his sofa
Saving one side of the sheets
What if it's not too late
To stop running from my own name
To let somebody love
All the parts I was taught to shame (oh)
[Chorus]
I'm halfway to forever
But I'm tired of the dark of this room
If you stand in the doorway
I swear I'll try and step to you
I keep saying I'll be braver
Maybe tonight I finally can
I'm halfway to forever
Come and meet me in the middle
My man
