They probably watched West Side Story and heard that by holding a hand, you can be halfway there, which in that musical was specified only as “somewhere”. I’d want more details too.
I never really read the lyrics before, it looks like it's about a couple selling their shit and working lousy jobs to pay off debt
I bet they have one of those money thermometers you see for like pledge drives and stuff, so they know how much they have to pay off, and it's like half red?
This is probably it and research I probably could have done, I was asked to sing the chorus in a medley of band members singing different hit songs over the same chords for an upcoming gig. So I’ve been singing just the chorus on repeat and realized I had no idea why were exactly half way.
