Halfway



I thought it was full
But it was halfway to the top
Love is an ocean tryin' to fill this tiny cup
Under bright sun and stars
We crash into the sand
All that I knew, I am having to learn again

And it's taken me over
Taken me over
And the heart I thought was full was halfway

The postman's comin'
Got your face pressed to the glass
Paper and boxes like a circus rambling past
Through heavy eyes
There's a close view of the trees
A new life coming everybody wants to see

And it's taken me over
Taken me over
And the heart I thought was full was halfway

Strong winds and tidal waves
Out of the harbor into the wake

I thought it was full
But it was halfway to the top
Love is an ocean and I am a tiny cup

And it's taken me over
Taken me over
And the heart I thought was full was halfway
