Half-Way Home Lyrics by Ben Cottrill

Velvet Regrets, Vol. 1&2

2020

Out on the walk, just a half-way home
When youre born not to belong, it ain't hard to know
Just a sleight of hand and the lock falls to the floor
So no heavy chains will hold you anymore
It was sometime in the autumn of our lord
I was blurry eyed, just a kid looking to score
As the crime rate in the town began to soar
We were laughing with each petty theft, we left with from the store
As my baby lungs were painted brown and black
You had skin that looked a little bit like that
We were opposites that found some common ground
On the sidewalk by the corner store downtown
Out on the walk, just a half-way home
When youre born not to belong, it ain't hard to know
Just a sleight of hand and the lock falls to the floor
So no heavy chains will hold you anymore
Now i think about it, man it must have killed
To be the colour on a canvas left unfilled
Imported so that you might find good in life
Not to say that Ontario would be the place that you'd die
And I'm guilty as a thief, a thief with his gun, put to death for the killin' that he's done
Yes i watched you draw closer to the edge, and which each year I did nothing
Oh I did nothing
I was saying go ahead
What would Jesus think of that?
My friend, my quiet friend i hear you now
Inside my breath after the sun goes down
We'll be okay wherever we may go
I'll send a message when I'm halfway home
Out on the walk, just a half-way home
When youre born not to belong, it ain't hard to know
Just a sleight of hand and the lock falls to the floor
So no heavy chains will hold you anymore
