[Verse 1] He's 20 years old, barely six feet tall His days feel short, but his nights last too long Every chance that he gets helps to make him strong And when the last sun sets, he thinks tomorrow always comes [Chorus] He's half-way gone, half-way there And always looking for the next somewhere He's got a heart, he's got his dreams He's got his lows that no one sees But every time he bows his knees He knows he's half-way home [Verse 2] She's just seventeen and she's growing up Her daddy just bought her a brand-new truck She's trying too hard to make believe That her Prince Charming ain't a dream And when the sun sets once more She finds her heart needs something more [Chorus] She's half-way sure, half-way scared Still believing someone's waiting somewhere She's got a heart she won't give cheap She's got a love she means to keep And every time she bows her knees She knows she's half-way home [Verse 3] He's spent his years trying to find his way She's kept her heart for another day He wanted a home that he could call his own She wanted a love where her heart could grow And somewhere between what they had and their dreams A half-way heart met a half-way dream [Build] It's not the place that builds the home It's the heart that gives those dreams a soul One brought heart and one brought goals But they both were needed to build a home [Final Chorus] Half-way heart met a half-way dream Both together were what they need Half of her, half of him And that is where their life begins And every time they're on their knees They'll always remember their half-way dreams [Closing] Half-way home, half-way to me Half of you needs all of me So take what makes your heart feel whole 'Cause I'm still coming... And I'm half-way home
