I'll Meet You Halfway
The Partridge Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will there come a day when you and I can say
We can fin'lly see each other?
Will there come a time when we can find the time
To reach out for one another?
We've been trav'lin' in circles such a long, long time,
Try'n' to say hello,
And we can just let it ride,
But you're someone that I'd like to get to know.
I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way.
There must be someway to get it together.
And if there's some way I know that some day
We just might work it out forever.
I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way.

Will there come a day when you and I can say
We can fin'lly see each other?
Will there come a time when we can find the time
To reach out for one another?
We've been trav'lin' in circles such a long, long time,
Try'n' to say hello,
And we can just let it ride,
But you're someone that I'd like to get to know.
I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way.
There must be someway to get it together.
And if there's some way I know that some day
We just might work it out forever.
I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way.
I'll meet you halfway, That's better than no way.

Overall Meaning

The Partridge Family's song "I'll Meet You Halfway" is an ode to the kind of romantic partnership that often comes with uncertainty and distance. The lyrics describe two people who have been circling each other for a long time without ever actually connecting. The singer asks if there will come a day when they can finally see each other, find the time to reach out for one another, and get to know each other. Ultimately, the singer suggests that meeting halfway is better than waiting for the perfect moment or staying put in their current situation.


This song is filled with simple yet powerful imagery that perfectly captures the emotions of someone who is longing for a connection. The idea of "travelling in circles" is a poignant metaphor for being stuck in an endless loop of missed opportunities and unfulfilled desires. The line "But you're someone that I'd like to get to know" is especially meaningful, as it suggests that the singer feels a strong attraction to the other person but hasn't yet had the chance to act on it.


Overall, "I'll Meet You Halfway" is a song about hope and taking chances. It encourages listeners to think about what they really want in life and to take steps towards fulfilling those desires, even if it means meeting someone halfway.

Will there come a day when you and I can say
Is there a future where we can finally admit


We can fin'lly see each other?
That we will be able to meet in person?


Will there come a time when we can find the time
Will there ever be a moment in time


To reach out for one another?
When we can connect with each other?


We've been trav'lin' in circles such a long, long time
We've been going in circles for so long

And we could just ignore it,
