Halfway There
Big Time Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We would never fall
If the world was ours
We would have it all
But the life we live
Isn't so simplistic
You just don't get what you want
And we keep on going
Leaning on each other's shoulders
Then we turn around
And see we've come so far somehow
We're halfway there
We're looking good now
And nothing's gonna get in the way
We're halfway there
And looking back now
I never thought that I'd ever say
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
When the chips are down
Back against the wall
Got no more to give
'Cause we gave it all
Seems like going a distance is unrealistic
But we're too far from the start
So we take what comes, And we keep on going
Leaning on each other's shoulders
Then we turn around
And see we've come so far somehow
We're halfway there
We're looking good now
And nothing's gonna get in the way
We're halfway there
And looking back now
I never thought that I'd ever say
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
How you ever gonna reach the stars
If you never get off the ground
And you'll always be where you are
If you let life knock you down
We're halfway there
We're looking good now
And nothing's gonna get in the way
We're halfway there
And looking back now
I never thought that I'd ever say
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
We're halfway there
The song "Halfway There" by Big Time Rush is about the struggles and obstacles one faces in life, and how it's important to keep pushing forward to achieve one's dreams. The lyrics suggest that life is not always easy, and one might fall or face setbacks, but it's essential to get back up and continue moving ahead towards one's goal. The chorus "We're halfway there, we're looking good now, and nothing's gonna get in the way" is meant to inspire listeners to keep moving forward in life and persevere through any challenges.
The song also highlights the importance of leaning on others for support during difficult times. The line "Leaning on each other's shoulders" suggests the importance of having a support system and relying on friends and family to help us get through tough situations. The song also emphasizes on the importance of not giving up, and that one should not be afraid to take risks in order to achieve their dreams.
It's interesting to note that the song was co-written by James Maslow, one of the members of Big Time Rush. The song was released as the lead single from the group's second album, "Elevate," in 2011. The song became a commercial success, and peaked at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Line by Line Meaning
If we never flew
If we never took risks
We would never fall
We would never experience failure and learn from it
If the world was ours
If we had complete control over our lives
We would have it all
We would have everything we desire
But the life we live
The reality of our lives
Isn't so simplistic
Is complex and unpredictable
You just don't get what you want
You can't always have what you want
So we take what comes
We accept what life offers us
And we keep on going
We persevere through the highs and lows of life
Leaning on each other's shoulders
Seeking support and encouragement from others
Then we turn around
Reflecting on our progress
And see we've come so far somehow
Realizing how much progress we've made despite the challenges
We're halfway there
We've made significant progress toward our goals
We're looking good now
We're in a good position to achieve our goals
And nothing's gonna get in the way
We are determined not to let obstacles derail us
And looking back now
Reflecting on our journey so far
I never thought that I'd ever say
I never imagined I would make it this far
When the chips are down
When we face difficulties
Back against the wall
Feeling trapped and hopeless
Got no more to give
Feeling depleted and exhausted
'Cause we gave it all
Because we put all our effort into something
Seems like going a distance is unrealistic
The goal may appear too far-fetched
But we're too far from the start
We've made too much progress to give up now
How you ever gonna reach the stars
How can you achieve your goals and dreams
If you never get off the ground
If you don't take action and start working towards them
And you'll always be where you are
You'll never make progress if you're stuck in the same place
If you let life knock you down
If you allow challenges and setbacks to defeat you
