Halfway

Halfway - Original Cast of Amélie

Written by：Daniel Messé/Nathan Tysen

In my mother's school house

I would sit at the kitchen table

And listen to her teach geometry

She taught me about distance

She taught a lesson about

A boat that is sailing the sea

Trying to get from point A to B

So the little boat's traveling at full sail

And it's trying to reach the shore

But whenever the boat gets halfway there

There's always halfway more

You take half of half

And half of that

So on and on and so

In my mother's schoolhouse

There was always halfway to go

To go

Little boat big ocean

I'm the girl with the copper spyglass

Who prays that today she will spot her shore

All at once a lighthouse

All at once through the copper spyglass

A light telling me to lean in on the oar

I start to row

But before I can get anywhere

From point A to point B

I am at that kitchen table where

I'll always be at sea

Take half of half

And half of that

No matter where I row

Little boat big ocean

Little boat big ocean

With always halfway to go

To go
