Nerina Pallot - Halfway home

Tekst :

I ve got a quarter in my pocket of an apple left to eat:
It s a wonder that I m standing on my own two feet.
In the shadow of a thousand veiled Victorian goodbyes
Jewels of litter come to greet me, and it stings my eyes.
Oh it burns like a fire and it pulls me through-
We are parted by desire for the strange and new.
I ve got a quarter in my pocket, I m advancing to the booth,
I am picking up and praying that I talk to you.

And now, I m halfway home, I m at the corner of our street,
Would you like to come and meet me?
Now that I am halfway home
Man, I never felt so lonely-
I long for you to hold me now I m home.

Somedays, there was comfort as a stranger far from home
Sometimes, a hunger and a longing not to be alone.
Imagining emotion in each man that I would meet-
But it was physics, and subtraction, to an ancient beat.
Oh, it burned like a fire and I wore it so...
We are tied up in desire and we won t let go.
Well, I ve no quarter in my pocket of no apple left to eat;
I am running, I am running and I can t feel my feet.

And now, I m halfway home, I m at the corner of our street,
Would you like to come and meet me?
Now that I m halfway home
Man, I never felt so lonely-
I long for you to hold me now I m home

Now I m home, home is where I wanna be,
Now I m home, home is where I m gonna be.
Past the church and past the steeple,
Past the sad and lonely people,
Past the old school on the avenue,
I am running, I am running...

And now, I m halfway home, I m at the corner of our street,
Would you like to co9me and meet me
Now that I m halfway home
Man, I never felt so lonely-
I long for you to hold me now I m home.
