Phillipa Soo - Halfway lyrics

[YOUNG AMÉLIE] In my mother's school house I would sit at the kitchen table And listen to her teach geometry She taught me about distance She taught a lesson about A boat that is sailing the sea Trying to get from point A to B So the little boat's traveling at full sail And it's trying to reach the shore But whenever the boat gets halfway there There's always halfway more You take half of half And half of that So on and on and so In my mother's schoolhouse There was always half to go [YOUNG AMÉLIE & AMÉLIE] To go [NINO, spoken] Hello? Hello? I hear you breathing! Come in and buy something or--- Look, if this is you, please give me what belongs to me Who are you? [AMÉLIE, spoken] I'm a mystery wrapped in an enigma Trapped in a paradox disappearing into thin air [NINO, spoken] Me too [AMÉLIE, spoken] Open your mail (sung) Little boat, big ocean I'm the girl with the copper spygla** Who prays that today she will spot her shore All at once a lighthouse All at once through the copper spygla** A light telling me to lean in on the oar I start to row But before I can get anywhere From point A to point B I am at that kitchen table where I'll always be at sea Take half of half And half of that No matter where I go [YOUNG AMÉLIE & AMÉLIE] Little boat, big ocean [YOUNG AMÉLIE & AMÉLIE] Little boat big ocean With always halfway to go To go
