Meet Each Other Halfway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Half a page beneath the plate I read the list of little errands And felt the room begin to change [Pre-Chorus] I could fold the day around me I could let the silence stay But your blue coat on the doorway Says there's more I need to say [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Bring the truth you couldn't say I don't need a perfect promise I need something that can stay Take my hand without the answer Let the future make its case If you come back, come back honest And we'll meet each other halfway [Verse 2] I found your note inside the cookbook Between the salt and rosemary You wrote that fear can look like distance When it's standing between two people trying to see [Pre-Chorus] I have carried every question Like a stone inside my shoe Now I'm leaving one door open Not for yesterday, but you [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Bring the truth you couldn't say I don't need a perfect promise I need something that can stay Take my hand without the answer Let the future make its case If you come back, come back honest And we'll meet each other halfway [Bridge] No more careful conversation No more measuring the cost We can name the things that hurt us We can grieve what we have lost And if the road is still uncertain We can walk it day by day Not pretending we are fearless Just deciding not to turn away [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Bring the truth you couldn't say I don't need a perfect promise I need something that can stay Take my hand without the answer Let the future make its case If you come back, come back honest And we'll meet each other halfway [Outro] Halfway is still a beginning Halfway is enough today
