Halfway

We were halfway between over and forever
In the stagnant wasteland of always and never
So the prose that I composed
Now flows like a stream that froze
Halfway between idiotic and clever

I was halfway between dreaming and awaking
When she decided that the bed needed making
Swept me out and locked the door
Exiled me forevermore
Halfway between the healing and aching

Make your mind up
Because halfway will not do
Or we'll wind up
In a padded room for two
No one signed up
To go through life without a clue
Because halfway simply will not do

Prophets and clairvoyants could have not predicted this
Psychics and soothsayers whiffed on their analysis
Mystics and diviners and those blessed with second sight
Forecasters and fortune tellers got it halfway right

I was halfway between saved and damned forever
With no clear sense of direction whatsoever
And the song that I sang out
Echoed with despair and doubt
Halfway between apart and together
Halfway between apart and together

Make your mind up
Because halfway will not do
Or we'll wind up
In a padded room for two
No one signed up
To go through life without a clue
Because halfway simply will not do
Halfway simply will not
Halfway simply will not do
