Cairo

Halfway There

I had my heart set on the real thing, baby
But truthfully you're only halfway there
You've been knocking on the wrong doors lately
Cause even no one's home and no one cares

I'll always be your second option
Second fiddle's not my name
But come the locomotive
Passengers who never stop
I fill my traincar with foolish notions
Use me as your fancy pub

But then again I got the deed, best oceans
Brimming full with all the sharks for me
I'll spill my blood for the cold reaction
And watch them closely as they come to feed

I thought I was a decent swimmer
But maybe I don't need to swim
Hiding in the darkest waters
Evolution has done its part
I fill myself with a guilty conscience
I am living with a poison heart
...
I had my heart set on the real thing, baby
But truthfully, you're only halfway there
