Story Behind The Song

People do that so I figured I'd write about it.

Song Description

A depiction of the tragic results of lowering one's expectations of intimacy.

Lyrics

Love can never leave you, if it's never really there
Lovers won't deceive you, as long as you don't care
Out of the bar, into his car
In the morning you're still free
Empty one-night stands
Walls go up as planned - too carefully

(chorus) Halfway down, halfway down, halfway down.....
halfway down a cloud.

Don't get too real, it's only skin to skin
Nothing revealed, power over him
When you give it all, how hard you fall, can't bear the pain.
Learn how not to cry, while your sky is pouring rain,

Halfway down etc. (chorus)

(mid-break): Do what's expected, don't expect too much
You're too well protected for anyone to touch
Setting the scene for one more cloudy day
Deep in your dream, am I stashed away?

Falling from grace, mask on your face, you touch and run
Maybe it's time to turn around and find you're not the only one
halfway down... (final chorus)
