Halfway House Lyrics

Halfway House lyrics

(Rosanne Cash)



The summer was the killer

Between our hearts and minds

Every day a drama

Dragging by in quarter time



By summer it was over

I couldn't see it through

Trying not to lose my mind

While I was leaving you



Our friends are in the halfway house

You're still on the mend

Don't know if I've changed at all

But I'm in love with you again

We're all in the halfway house

Or so it sometimes seems

Trying to find the truth inside

Instead of getting by on dreams



In summer we were blinded

We thought it couldn't last

Crying 'bout the future

And fighting 'bout the past



The summer was no bargain

And look at us today

Running from the memory of

The price we had to pay



Our friends are in the halfway house

You're still on the mend

Don't know if I've changed at all

But I'm In love with you again

We're all in the halfway house

Or so it sometimes seems

Trying to find the truth inside

Instead of getting by on dreams



We're all in the halfway house

Or so it sometimes seems

Trying to find the truth inside

Instead of getting by on dreams

We're all in the halfway house

I guess I always knew

You could give up on yourself

But I could not give up on you
