I take back what I said 
I didn't mean a word of it
I was all in my head
I was too afraid to let you in
When you opened your heart up
Should have done the same thing
You told me you love me, I sat quiet
I don't wanna say it till I really feel it
So just give me a while

'Cause I'm HALFWAY THERE to loving you
So wait there for me
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do 
To be where you be
But I can't say those words right now
That you want to hear
I'll meet you at the finish line
I just need a little more time
But I will be there, oho
I will be there

I'm lying in this bed
Staring at the ceiling fan
I wanna be with you instead
Why couldn't I say it then
I didn't wanna lie so
I just kept my mouth closed
Wanna feel it with you so damn bad
I feel it getting closer, every time I hold you
So baby take my hand!

'Cause I'm HALFWAY THERE to loving you
So wait there for me
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do 
To be where you be
But I can't say those words right now
That you want to hear
I'll meet you at the finish line
I just need a little more time
But I will be there, oho
I will be there

Wait for me, I will never waste your time
Yes I've been hurt before, I've been to war
I've made it out alive
You've got me, I'm not going anywhere
So give me a minute baby
I'm right behind you, when love is on the line

I'm HALFWAY THERE to loving you
So wait there for me
(Wait there for me)
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do 
To be where you be
But I can't say those words right now
That you want to hear
I'll meet you at the finish line
I just need a little more time
But I will be there, 
I will be there
