Halfway to Forever

[Intro]
Yeah
Heart loud
Head stubborn
Let’s go
[Verse 1]
New jeans
Same old fears
Scrolling through
All my missed years
Got dreams on read
In a cracked-screen phone
Whole crew grew up
I’m still half grown
Said I’d change
When the summer came
But the fall hit first
And I stayed the same
Got a playlist full
Of the things I say
Then I play it back
Just to look away
[Chorus]
I’m halfway to forever
Stuck inside this now or never
One foot on the gas
One hand on the brake
Sing it like a promise
Scream it like a prayer
If I’m going down
I’m going down awake
Halfway to forever
[Verse 2]
Mom calls
Says she’s proud of me
I’m three weeks late
On the light bill fee
Post big wins
On a small pay day
Tag fake joy
Till it feels halfway
Late night talks
With the ceiling fan
Draw big plans
In my wristband
Tattoo dates
That I still chase
Want a new life
In the same face
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
What if I don’t make it?
What if this is it?
[voice cracks]
What if all these almost moments
Are the point of it?
[guitar swell]
But I’m still here
Breath in my chest
Ink on my hands
Sweat on my neck
Crowd or alone
I’ll still confess
It hurts so good
To care this much
[Chorus]

rap, Big crossover record: trap drums and sub bass under bright pop guitars, emo-rap energy. Male vocals switch between tight melodic rap in the verses and soaring pop-punk chorus with gang shouts on the hook. Second half brings in distorted power chords and stacked harmonies for an anthemic lift, then drops back to beat and vocal for the outro., pop, rock
