Say You'll Meet Me Halfway

Verse

Sidewalk chalk and a two-dollar coffee

Your bike tire's flat but you don't seem to mind

Talking fast about a map with no cities

Just an arrow pointing out to sometime

You said the stars don't owe us a straight line

Said the best roads bend and double back

I'm already three steps out my front door

Chasing that spark, chasing that laugh

Pre-Chorus

So what's it gonna take

To get you off that curb

Every second's a mile

That I can't afford to lose, no

Chorus

Say you'll meet me halfway

Right where the streetlights start to sway

I'll run if you'll just walk my way

Say you'll meet me halfway

Not all the way, just halfway

Close enough to catch the sun today

Verse

Now it's Tuesday texts and a borrowed jacket

Your handwriting's messy but I keep every note

Six flights up just to hear you laughing

Worth every step, worth losing my coat

You draw circles round the things that scare you

I draw arrows straight into your view

We're building bridges out of paper matches

Bright enough to burn this whole thing true

Pre-Chorus

So what's it gonna take

To get you off that curb

Every second's a mile

That I can't afford to lose, no

Chorus

Say you'll meet me halfway

Right where the streetlights start to sway

I'll run if you'll just walk my way

Say you'll meet me halfway

Not all the way, just halfway

Close enough to catch the sun today

Bridge

Forget the middle, forget the math

I'll cross the whole line, I'll take the path

You don't gotta move, I'll close the gap

Just hold your hand out, that's all I ask

Chorus

Say you'll meet me halfway

Right where the streetlights start to sway

I'll run if you'll just walk my way

Say you'll meet me halfway

Not all the way, just halfway

Close enough to catch the sun today

Say you'll meet me halfway

Where the whole sky turns to daylight
