Well I used to walk along the opposite side of the road
and made others get out of my way
I used to think that I could sit and wait for the times
but I know I should meet them halfway
I'm halfway home and I'm on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
I plan to leave here after supper time
that's when traffic is light, all I need is a sign
and I'll be alright. I'll be fine
Well I used to think that i could just sleep and then I would dream
And everything it would just come to me
Until I woke one day without anything to eat
Lying on the opposite side of the street
I'm halfway home and I'm still out on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
Because it ain't my time not to stay or say
Well I can't say, but you can bet that i will play my heart out
I'll won't lay.
I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the times
But I know I gotta meet them somewhere out there halfway
I'm halfway home I tried running with the flow
I'm halfway there. Ain't it funny how everybody seems to care
I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
All I needed was a sign and I guess I'llbe allright.
I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.
I'll be alright.
I'll be alright.
It seems to be a running theme about being fine and allright but I don't mind.
Because I'll be fine and alright
I'll be fine
I'll be fine

	Oh wow. this is such a deep song. I'm not very religous at all but i believe that there are some religous undertones to this song. I think it was a time in his life where he lost his relationship with God. He felt alone and homeless with no one to turn to. I dont think it is about literally being homeless. I used to walk all along The opposite side of the road And made others get out of my way I used to think that i could just sit and wait for the times but they wont come till i meet them halfway He's talking about a time in his life when he was bitter and probably treated people badly. He came from the wrong side of the tracks and was waiting for god to find him. He needs to meet him halfway. I plan to get there around supper time They're serving up bread and wine All i needed was a sign Obviously, the bread and wine is symbollic of The Last Supper. He needed a sign from god to come home to him

No Picture Fabien Average	#2 by Fabien Bergeron at Oct 5, 2007 at 12:59 AM EST
	I think this song was written to make himself feel better when he was homeless,"I'll be fine". "Halfway Home" also refers to the shelters he may have stayed at. He used to think that his destiny would come to him until he left home to pursue his dreams, and although he went through some very tough times, he was still on his way to becoming who he wanted to be. "I don't mind because it ain't my time to stay or say I'll never lay down" is one of my favourite lines. He's saying he's not ready yet, it's not his time, but he won't give up.
