Halfway House Lyrics by Jay Allen

Des Moines

2023

[Verse 1]
Girl, you got half of this bed if you want it
Half of that yard out front, park on it
Half of them hangers hanging up in that closet
And everything I have to give
Feels like we got a good thing going half of the time
And the other half, girl it feels like
[Chorus]
You're halfway in and halfway out
I wanna love you but you're making it hard
With your one foot in and one foot out
Never wanna give away all of your heart
We talk about forever but what the hell for
Even in my arms in the dark you got your eyes on the door
Don't wanna be alone but tell me how
We're gonna make a home in a
In a halfway house
[Verse 2]
I know you've been to hell and back
Those other guys didn't know what they had
Yeah, you keep holding on to the past 'stead of holding on to me
Tell me baby if you're gone when you're here
Are you here when you're gone?
'Cause I can only hang on for so long
[Chorus]
When you're halfway in and halfway out
I wanna love you but you're making it hard
With your one foot in and one foot out
Never wanna give away all of your heart
We talk about forever but what the hell for
Even in my arms in the dark you got your eyes on the door
Don't wanna be alone but tell me how
We're gonna make a home in a
In a halfway house
In a halfway house
[Bridge]
Give me your all or give me nothing
'Cause I can't live with the way you're loving me
[Chorus]
Halfway in and halfway out
I wanna love you but you're making it hard
With your one foot in and one foot out
Never wanna give away all of your heart
We talk about forever but what the hell for
Even in my arms in the dark you got your eyes on the door
Don't wanna be alone but tell me how
We're gonna make a home in a
In a halfway house
In a halfway house
In a halfway house
