I don’t know how to love you half way

Verse 1

Champagne shining in the moonlight

Steam rising through the cold air’s night

Soothing warm water wrapped around us tight

Stars gleaming all around so bright

Talking about life and where it’s going

All the things we’re trying to do

Sometimes those long nights leave me wondering

If you feel this building too

Pre-Chorus

There’s never been a wall between us

Nothing we were scared to say

That’s the thing that makes this harder

For a heart that don’t work halfway

Chorus

I don’t know how to love you halfway

Don’t know how to see you that way

You say “friends,” but I can’t pretend

When I feel this every day

If I stay, it’s my heart that pays

If I walk away… it’s the same pain either way

Only difference is… it’s final that way

I don’t know how to love you halfway

⸻

Verse 2

Back rub slow in that little she-shed

I built the frame, you brought the soul

Shells and candles, driftwood pictures

Girl, you make broken things feel whole

You said my hands are strong when they touch you

They find tension buried beneath your skin

And I can feel your whole body breathing

Like peace is settling in

Turnaround

And every time you lean in closer

I lose a little more restraint

You call this “friends” so casually

But my heart just works a different way

Chorus

I don’t know how to love you halfway

Don’t know how to see you that way

You say “friends,” but I can’t pretend

When I feel this every day

If I stay, it’s my heart that pays

If I walk away… it’s the same pain either way

Only difference is… it’s final that way

I don’t know how to love you halfway

⸻

Bridge

We do all the things love does

Without saying what this is

And every night I leave there wondering

How much longer I can live like this

Maybe you don’t even realize

How far inside my soul you got

Somewhere between those midnight talks

And healing all the hurt life brought

I stopped being “just a friend”

Without meaning to

I don’t know how to love you halfway

⸻

Final Chorus

I don’t know how to love you halfway

Don’t know how to see you that way

You say “friends,” but I can’t pretend

When I feel this every day

If I stay, it’s my heart that pays

If I walk away… it’s the same pain either way

Only difference is… it’s final that way

I don’t know how to love you halfway

⸻

Outro

Champagne shining in the moonlight

Steam fading through the cold air’s night

You beside me… stars above me

And a heart that don’t know halfway
