Template:Infobox song

"Halfway Right" is the eighth track on One More Light. The song was written in collaboration with Ross Golan.

Background

The title "Halfway Right" was first seen in a picture posted on Joe Hahn's Instagram story on September 6, 2016 of Brad playing acoustic guitar with the band's song board behind him.[1] The band went through some challenges while working on the song. It went through structural issues and when they started recording the vocals, they didn't quite work the way the band thought they would and the song didn't feel natural. Nevertheless, they thought it had a lot of potential and it was worth putting a extra work into. They ended up changing the key and asking Ross Golan to come back in to help creating its definitive version.[2]

In an interview with LPAssociation, Mike Shinoda said, "In a way, this album is personal because it's more specific. Maybe because each song started with concept and lyrics. Often on One More Light, the words paint a picture which puts you in a time and place. For example, on Halfway Right, Chester sings, "I used to get high with the dead end kids / in abandoned houses where the shadows live." That's a very specific image, and probably one that wouldn't appear on any of our other albums."[3]

Lyrics

Template:Collapse top

I scream at myself when there’s nobody else to fight
I don’t lose, I don’t win, if I’m wrong then I’m halfway right

I used to get high with the dead-end kids
In abandoned houses where the shadows live
I’ve never been higher than I was that night
I woke up driving my car

I couldn’t see then what I see right now
The road dissolving like an empty vow
Couldn’t remember where I’d been that night
I knew I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down
I remember, now I remember
All you said to do was slow down
But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there’s nobody else to fight
I don’t lose, I don’t win, if I’m wrong then I’m halfway right
I know what I want but it feels like I’m paralyzed
I don’t lose, I don’t win, if I’m wrong then I’m halfway right

Told me kid, you’re going way too fast
You burn too bright, you know you’ll never last
It was bullshit then, I guess it makes sense now
I woke up driving my car

Said I’d lose you if I lost control
I just laughed because what do they know
Here I am standing all alone
Because I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down
I remember, now I remember
All you said to do was slow down
But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there’s nobody else to fight
I don’t lose, I don’t win, if I’m wrong then I’m halfway right
I know what I want but it feels like I’m paralyzed
I don’t lose, I don’t win, if I’m wrong then I’m halfway right
Halfway right

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong
Then I'm halfway right

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong
Then I'm halfway right
