Contextual Analysis of "halfway home" in Lyrics

but halfway to heaven isn't heaven

and i put it off

but halfway to heaven isn't heaven

and i put it off

found a shady tree

casey was asked for his favorite joke

we'll have fun in california

halfway home

and lord

wait just a little longer

and lord

wait just a little longer

meet halfway

meet halfway

i am picking up and praying that i talk to you. and now

i'm at the corner of our street

but they won't come till i meet them halfway

on my own

it's still ol' me

i'm tired of kicking stones and i'll be back home today

left alone

sink like stones

and there's still a race ahead that i must run

i've gotta journey on

pounding sleep

take my problems

start

and all our footprints in the snow
