Halfway To The Headline

[Verse 1]

But you’re mouthing every word along

Coffee stains on the setlist page

Still stuck on that opening phrase

[Pre-Chorus]

Every doubt

Every late night drive

Turns to gold when your eyes light up

Are we late

Are we right on time?

Either way

I can’t get enough

[Chorus]

We’re halfway to the headline

Singing like the world’s on mute

Windows down on the fault line

Chasing every almost-truth

If this is all we ever get

You on my left in the front seat set

I’ll still call it a good life

We’re halfway to the headline (hey!)

[Verse 2]

Phone lit up with another “maybe”

Still you dance in our narrow kitchen

Spin me round like a quiet secret

[Pre-Chorus]

Every “no” is a spark you keep

In a jar for a darker day

You just laugh

Say “it’s ours to lose”

Hit rewind

Let the chorus play

[Chorus]

We’re halfway to the headline

Singing like the world’s on mute

Windows down on the fault line

Chasing every almost-truth

If this is all we ever get

You on my left in the front seat set

I’ll still call it a good life

We’re halfway to the headline (oh yeah)

[Bridge]

Maybe we never break that ceiling

Maybe we always ride this high

But if every night feels like this feeling

Who cares if our names touch the sky?

[Chorus]

We’re halfway to the headline

Singing like the world’s on mute

Windows down on the fault line

Chasing every almost-truth

If this is all we ever get

You on my left in the front seat set

I’ll still call it a good life

We’re halfway to the headline

Yeah

I’ll still call it a good life

We’re halfway to the headline
