Feb 14th tomorrow and very little progress
Half way through
V1
Time ticks on
Even when we stand still
Progress demands
We redeem time
What’s next to do
Chorus
Half way through
Always much to do
Looming deadline
You play on my mind
But half way through
Still leaves time
For me and you
V2
Stuck in moments
While the days fly by
The hamster wheel
Demands constant motion
But I’ll pause with you
Bridge
Living saps my life
Earning to pay
Tomorrow’s pleasure
At the expense of today
But not everything is fair
But we half way there

For all the looming pressures and not-quite-there, this lyric still has a level of optimism and hope, and it's a loving chorus. And perhaps that "pause with you" is what really matters...?
