Halfway Home

We drove past Harbor Street again
The same old signs, the same old end
You said the view still makes you ache
But maybe some ghosts don't want to fade
The air was thick with ocean talk
We knew that growing meant we'd walk
It's strange how leaving never feels gone
Just echoes that we build life on

We were half in love with the fall
Half afraid to lose it all
Every wrong road taught us grace
Every tear rewrote this place

We're halfway home, but that's okay
Still chasing the light that slips away
We're not who we were, but somehow we stay
A little more real with every mistake
From sand in our shoes to city rain
We keep finding ourselves again
Halfway home
And maybe that's where we belong

You still hum the songs from senior year
They sound like freedom, taste like fear
We laughed too loud in borrowed cars
Believed that youth could heal the scars
But time's a tide, it pulls, it learns
It leaves you softer where it burns
And I still feel it when the night turns gold
That same rush that never gets old

We were half awake in the storm
Half broken, half reborn
Every ending lit the sky
Every silence taught us why

We're halfway home, but that's okay
Still chasing the light that slips away
We're not who we were, but somehow we stay
A little more real with every mistake
From sand in our shoes to city rain
We keep finding ourselves again
Halfway home
And maybe that's where we belong

All the versions of us still call
From the posters, from the hall
And if growing up means losing parts
Then I'll keep the coast inside my heart

We're halfway home, and that's okay
Still driving through the yesterday
The world keeps changing, but we remain
A little more sure with every pain
From the long drive nights to the ocean songs
We've been becoming all along
Halfway home
Yeah, halfway home
And maybe that's where we belong
