Halfway gone, halfway gone

You were always hard to hold
So letting go ain't easy
I'm hanging on but growing cold
While my mind is leaving

Talk, talk is cheap
Give me a word you can keep
'Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on my way
And I'm feeling, feelin' feelin' this way
'Cause I'm halfway in but don't take too long
'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone
You got one foot out the door
And choking on the other
Always think there's something more
Its just around the corner

Talk, talk is cheap
Give me a word you can keep
'Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on way
And I'm feeling, feelin' feelin' this way
'Cause you're halfway in but don't take too long
'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way
And I'm feelin', feelin' feelin' this way
'Cause you're halfway in, but don't take too long
'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (oh oh)
I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (oh oh)
Now I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone
Don't take too long, don't take too long
'Cause I'm on my way
If you take too long
'Cause I'm halfway gone and I'm on way
And I'm feeling, feelin' I'm feelin' this way
'Cause you're halfway in but don't take too long
'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone

If you want me out, then I'm on my way
And I'm feelin', feelin' feelin' this way
'Cause you're halfway in, but don't take too long
'Cause I'm halfway gone, I'm halfway gone (oh oh)
'Cause I'm halfway gone, and I'm halfway gone (oh oh)
'Cause I'm halfway gone, yeah I'm halfway gone
