Half Way There

Half the questions we are asking
And half the answers we receive
Are closing down the conversation
Before it even starts to breathe

Information, inspiration, motivation, dissipate in hesitation
What d'you say then?
I forgot now it's too late
Half way there, we start again

Took so long revising problem
Facts and figures in the papers
Had no time left to relate
Don't interrupt, I'm half way there!
To anyone who had solutions
Try looking from another angle
Too tied up in the debate
Scared of being unaware

I saw the taste roll off your tongue
Half way out it climbed back in
Ending what you'd just begun
Just before we got into it
Like chocolate bars instead of sex
Substitute for what we wanted
Something gained but nothing left
Half way into what we needed
Its never more than second best
Cross the line between the thinking and the saying
And the thinking and the saying
And the thinking, saying then the doing it

We were half way there when we crossed the line
Now we're doing it!
We were half way there when we crossed the line
Now we're doing it!

We're doing what we almost said in conversations kept at bay
We're doing all the things we said we'd put off till another day
We're doing something cause inertia only leads to self-decay
And half way into doing it we know we're going all the way!
We're going all the way!
