Half the Way Home

I look

Don’t see

There’s nothing here for me

I leave

I cry

Half the way home

I came

It’s true

In hopes of seeing you

I leave

I cry

Half the way home

I’ve been in school today

The same as yesterday

The clowns have come into their own

I tried to think of who should

Laugh just as hard as I would

I came to think of you alone

I try

I do

There’s no replacing you

I leave

I cry

Half the way home

Big crowd

No space

It’s still an empty place

I leave

I cry

Half the way home

How could you think of me

That I would prefer to fail

And that’d be why I’d love you so

Call it a waking dream

Think it a fairy tale

But haven’t you heard sometimes you know

And I know

But no

I’ve been in school today

The same as yesterday

The clowns have come into their own

I tried to think of who should

Laugh just as hard as I would

I came to think of you alone

I look

Don’t see

There’s nothing here for me

I leave

I cry

Half the way home

I came

It’s true

In hopes of seeing you

I leave

I cry

Half the way home

Half the way home

Half the way home

Half the way home

Half the way home
