Halfway Back Home

pop, Shimmering indie-pop with airy synth pads and clean electric guitar arpeggios, midtempo, Verses keep it intimate with close-miked female vocals and a dry, intimate mix; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, bigger drums, and bright lead synth doubling the topline, Second half adds subtle counter-melodies and a lifted final hook for a lingering, heart-tugging finish, female vocals

[Verse 1] Boxes all unpacked Still feels like I’m just passing through Learn the streets by heart But my dreams still talk about you Call at 2 AM Checking time zones Checking my faith Tell you I’m okay Leave out the parts I can’t say [Chorus] I’m halfway back home Even when I’m here I’m gone Every road I’m on Keeps spelling out where I’m from Pray you’re safe tonight Say your names like a quiet song I’m halfway back home So far away But I still belong [Verse 2] Try to put down roots Water new days Watch them grow Smiling in the glare But my heart sneaks out through the phone New friends Brighter lights Still I trace that old kitchen floor Suitcase by the door Whisper “Do I stay or board?” (do I stay or go?) [Chorus] [Bridge] Every choice a border line Every step I split in two One side walks this open sky One side runs back home to you If I stay If I turn around Will you feel it where you are? Close my eyes and I see our house Glowing like a distant star [Chorus]
