Halfway gone and halfway back.

You're always dreaming about what you like.

Look at you boy, I'm on my way, Ma Didn't I tell you that I'd make it someday, huh?

Even though where you stay is far away I'm slippin', not givin' you a call a day I waited half my life to meet you, that's crazy I'm glad I had a real-ass dad who raised me I thought I went through them glad bags and pages Stages, you missed them teenage years It's okay once we met like I'm your kid right here The day I just appeared in your life from thin air Since then, I haven't exactly been right there Believe me, you ever need me, I'ma be right there Pages smeared with tears, took me years to write this Without pain, I wouldn't know how real this life is

I'm in the crisis, fueled by vices, realizing the time I spent with you was priceless.

Halfway gone, halfway back.

You're always dreamin' about what you lack I was raised in a high state, born in Tsuwanase A small island off the coast of Okinawa Bay My papa's only man I know used to plow rice With a water buffalo livin' off of wildlife

Two years old is when something strange happened.

Took me, put me on a plane, never came back.

I guess living with my moms wouldn't work out.

Quit the village of life and went the work route.

And nine to five and it meant that you were not at home.

And so growing up, I spent a lot of time alone.

used to listen at your door when you were stabbing it laughing I was standing broke in your liquor cabinet

Throwing up all night.

I'm growing up all right.

And now my page is blowing up all night.

I'm sort of glad that you spent so much time away.

Gave me the space I need to be the man I am today.

Halfway gone.

Halfway back.

You're always dreaming.

About what you like Halfway done

Halfway back.
