Better Half of Me
Tom Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll always be my number one
A whole lot more than good enough
I'm giving everything I've got to gain every second lost
Six years just ain't enough
With you, I'm happy being me
Don't pretend, 'cause I don't need to
I'm a thousand miles from home, never on my own
When you whisper down the phone

Well, I guess we never saw this coming
Halfway around the world calling
But I just want you to know

That I'd have all I need
If you were standing right in front of me
I'll finally see what it means to be complete
Don't need to spend our lives chasing gold
Anywhere with you, I'll call my home
Oh, I'd have all I need
If you'd be the better half of me

I'm still up, it's 4 AM
Is this Amsterdam or Berlin?
Yeah, I'm just waiting for the day I finally get to say
These words face to face

Well, I guess we never saw this coming
Halfway around the world calling
But I just want you to know

That I'd have all I need
If you were standing right in front of me
I'll finally see what it means to be complete
Don't need to spend our lives chasing gold
Anywhere with you, I'll call my home
Oh, I'd have all I need
If you'd be the better half of me
I'd have all I need
If you were standing right in front of me
I'll finally see what it means to be complete
Don't need to spend our lives chasing gold
Anywhere with you, I'll call my home
Oh, I'd have all I need
If you'd be the better half of me

If you'd be the better half of me




Yeah, will you be the better half of me?
Will you be the better half of me?
