about

Written from the perspective of the character of Sunflower, she considers the flipside of a recent breakup. While she has lost love , someone else has gained love. She gets comfort from the idea that this is a cycle, a continuum, and therefore as love leaves her, in balance, love is also coming her way.

lyrics

Halfway To Love

Out the fire escape
No one to find me unless you
Trip the alarm coming back home
Out on the fire escape I'm fine
Listening to the last train punch a hole in the night
I guess you won't be coming back home

All our secret little jokes
Don't seem so funny - like some elaborate hoax
But I believed it all the way
We were once so close

Yeah we were halfway to love
we were halfway to love
halfway to love
yeah only halfway to love
Oh, we're getting closer

Hit the bar at closing time
Lush life regulars singing their hearts out high
Who can remember all the words
Thought I knew you by heart
Now I only remember the good parts

We were halfway to love
Just halfway to love
Halfway to love
We're all just halfway to love

I know there's someone like me out there
Staring at the city lights
Singing some 1/2 remembered prayer
1/2 believing it'll be alright
And every night without you I’m getting closer


Halfway to love
We're all just halfway to love
It's not that hard just give it all, give it up
We'are all havlfway to love

Half-hearted denials won't cover it up
Halfway just isn't good enough
