Half Past Forever

[ Lyrics ]

We were halfway to always… halfway to always.

You drew me a map with your fingertips,
traced my collarbone like it was gospel script.
We whispered vows in the backseat air,
no rings, no date—just us like prayer.
I saved every text like it was stone,
like you were building me a home.
We laughed at forever—said ‘we’re not there yet,’
but I packed my heart like I’d never get it back.

Now I drive that same route, radio low,
see your ghost in the glow of a stoplight glow.
Was it love or just a dream we dressed in truth?
Feels like halfway to always… and no proof.

We were halfway to always — not quite begun,
not love lost, but love undone.
Half past forever, and I’m still in it,
stuck in the ‘almost,’ trapped in the rhythm.

We were halfway… and now it’s over.

Found your scarf in my winter coat,
smelled like smoke and that peach perfume note.
Didn’t cry when I pulled it out—
just stared at the stain you left somehow.
You said, ‘Someday’ like it had a plan,
but someday got lost in the in-between, man.
I still text you in my head at two,
rewriting the end so I’m not the one who’s blue.

You fade in the mornings, sharp at the edge,
like a photo burned by the light of the ledge.
I don’t hate you — I just miss the sound
of us pretending we were halfway to bound.

We were halfway to always — not quite begun,
not love lost, but love undone.
Half past forever, and I’m still in it,
stuck in the ‘almost,’ trapped in the rhythm.

We were halfway… and now it’s over.

No grave, no name, no final scene,
no closure — just the space between.
We weren’t broken, we just… ceased.
Half a promise. Half peace. Half release.

We were halfway to always — not quite real,
but it felt like heaven with steel
in the lyrics, sugar in the cut.
Half past forever… and I miss us.

We were halfway… and now it’s nothing.

Half past forever…

…still feels like almost.
