Halfway to Forever

[Verse 1]
(Male)
Met you in a ball cap
Walmart glow
Cart full of cheap wine
Oreos
You laughed when I backed up down the wrong row
Said
"Boy
You drive like your heart’s on hold"
(Female)
You were all boots
Flannel
Crooked grin
Talking ’bout fishing
I just walked in
Didn’t think twice
Then you bumped my cart
Now your hoodie smells like my perfume in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
(Male)
I ain’t the type to fall so fast
(Female)
I ain’t the girl who calls right back
(Both)
But here we are
Screen lit up past midnight
Spillin’ out our whole lives
[Chorus]
(Both)
We’re just halfway to forever
On this two-lane
Beat-up road
Singing along to a song we don’t know
Windows down
Letting every fear go
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna get better
From the front seat kiss to the last dance slow
Baby
Hold my hand
Never let it go
We’re just halfway to forever
But it’s further than I’ve ever known
[Verse 2]
(Female)
Daddy said
"Darlin’
Don’t rush in"
Mama saw your truck and just smiled big
You were in the kitchen doin’ all the dishes
Tryna win ’em over with your country wishes
(Male)
Now your hair’s up
Barefoot in my shirt
Burnin’ box mac ’n cheese
Sayin’
"Hope it works"
We’re broke as a joke but it feels so rich
Every little moment got me thinkin’ this is it
[Pre-Chorus]
(Female)
I used to dream in city lights
(Male)
I used to leave before sunrise
(Both)
Now I’m fine just stuck in Friday traffic
If you’re riding shotgun in it
[Chorus]
(Both)
We’re just halfway to forever
On this two-lane
Beat-up road
Singing along to a song we don’t know
Windows down
Letting every fear go
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna get better
From the front seat kiss to the last dance slow
Baby
Hold my hand
Never let it go
We’re just halfway to forever
But it’s further than I’ve ever known
[Bridge]
(Male)
What if we buy that little white house
(Female)
What if my last name’s what you’re talkin’ ’bout
(Male)
What if our kids got your wild brown eyes
(Female)
And your bad jokes and that crooked smile
(Both)
What if this road never runs out of lines
Just your hand
My hand
Tangled in time
[Chorus]
(Both)
We’re just halfway to forever
On this two-lane
Beat-up road
Singing along to a song we don’t know
Windows down
Letting every fear go
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna get better
From the front seat kiss to the last dance slow
Baby
Hold my hand
Never let it go
We’re just halfway to forever
But it’s further than I’ve ever known
[Outro]
(Female)
Halfway to forever
(Male)
But I’m all in
You know
(Both)
If this is halfway
Baby
I don’t wanna reach the end of the road (oh yeah)
