Halfway
Mimi Webb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was a time when it all made sense
I'm still hoping that it could get better
Does forever have to come to an end?
And I'm thinking 'bout who I'll be without you
In the middle of the bed we made
Now I'm walking on the edge when I'm around you
How could love make you feel this way?
Am I too scared to leave?
I'm halfway to letting you go, when our path breaks, I'm scared of alone
Five years of knowing that you were the one
Taught me to walk, now I'm ready to run
Run fast, hold the door, I'm sorry but I need more
I can't believe that I'm getting this close
Halfway to freedom, I'm halfway to letting you
Go, time to let go
I'm halfway to letting you
Go, time to let go
Halfway to letting you go
Got the strength, got the will, got the reason
Got a coat with the bags all packed
And I guess I gotta go with the feeling
But if I go then I can't come back
Am I too scared to leave?
I'm halfway to letting you go, when our path breaks, I'm scared of alone
Five years of knowing that you were the one
Taught me to walk, now I'm ready to run
Run fast, hold the door, I'm sorry but I need more
I can't believe that I'm getting this close
Halfway to freedom, I'm halfway to letting you
Go, time to let go
I'm halfway to letting you
Go, time to let go
Halfway to letting you go
Got the strength, got the will, got the reason
Got a coat with the bags all packed
And I guess I gotta go with the feeling
But if I go then I can't come back
I can't come back
I'm halfway to letting you go, when our path breaks, I'm scared of alone (scared of alone)
Five years of knowing that you were the one (you were the one)
Taught me to walk, now I'm ready to run (ready to run)
Run fast, hold the door, I'm sorry but I need more (I'm sorry, oh, I need more)
I can't believe that I'm getting this close
Halfway to freedom, I'm halfway to letting you
Go, time to let go
Time to let
I'm halfway to letting you
Go, time to let go
Time to let
I'm halfway to letting you
In Mimi Webb's song "Halfway," the lyrics speak to a complex and conflicting emotional state. The singer reflects on a past relationship that once seemed eternal and full of clarity. However, the song reveals that something has gone awry, causing doubt and uncertainty to creep in.
The first verse communicates a mix of hope and desperation. The singer ponders who they will become without their partner, feeling lost in the middle of the world they built together. This sense of being on the edge is juxtaposed with the power of love, which paradoxically brings both happiness and pain.
The chorus emphasizes the conflict within the singer. They describe being halfway to letting go of their partner, but fear the unknown that lies ahead. Five years of shared existence have made the singer reliant on their partner, but now they feel the need for more. The longing for freedom and the readiness to take a leap are portrayed as the singer's resolute steps towards personal growth and independence.
The second verse continues to explore the internal struggle. The singer acknowledges their strength, determination, and purpose in leaving behind their current situation. They have metaphorically packed their bags, but acknowledge the irreversibility of their decision. There is a sense of finality, knowing that once they leave, there is no turning back.
Overall, "Halfway" is a song that delves into the conflicting emotions experienced when approaching the end of a significant relationship. It captures the hesitations, fears, and desires for personal growth and freedom.

Id like to see her get a little deeper instead of just love/breakup songs but maybe that'll come as she gets a bit older. Love her stuff either way!
