When the chips are down, back against the wall 
Got no more to give 'cause we gave it all 
Seems like going a distance is unrealistic 
But we're too far from the start
So we take [bad word] and we keep on going 
Leaning on each other's shoulders 
Then we turn around and see [bad word] so far somehow

We're halfway there, we're looking good now 
Nothing's gonna get in the way 
We're halfway there and looking back now 
I'd never thought that I'd ever say 
We're halfway there, we're halfway there

If you never flew, we would never fall 
If the world was ours, we would have it all 
But the life we live isn't so simplistic 
You just don't get what you want

So we take [bad word] and we keep on going 
Leaning on each other's shoulders

Then we turn around and see [bad word] so far somehow

We're halfway there, we're looking good now 
Nothing's gonna get in the way 
We're halfway there and looking back now 
I'd never thought that I'd ever say 
We're halfway there, we're halfway there

How you ever gonna reach the stars 
If you never get off the ground? 
And you're always here where you are 
If you let life knock you down

We're halfway there, we're looking good now 
Nothing's gonna get in the way 
We're halfway there and looking back now 
I'd never thought that I'd ever say 
We're halfway there, we're halfway there 
(Oh, we're halfway there, halfway there )

Oh, we're halfway there, halfway there 
Oh, we're halfway there, halfway there
