Miss Halfway

You oughta hear the mirror in my house
 You oughta fear her pretty, pretty mouth
 Says I'm imperfect in every way:
 "Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway"
 All my friends in L.A. got jobs on Melrose Place
 I play Replacements songs and sigh-- a Waitress In The Sky
 You oughta hear the things I've been thinking
 You oughta swim in a heart that is sinking
 You try to break me with all the things you say:
 "Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway"
 Tony makes 60 K, invests in IRAs,
 But I'm busy making paper airplanes out of resumes
 But I'm gonna burn, I'm gonna shine and multiply
 I'm gonna fill up the great divide
 You'll never break me with all the things you say
 "Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway"
 I'm gonna burn a pie now and then
 And I'm gonna say the wrong things to your friends
 I'm gonna burn and shine and multiply
 And when I do, you're gonna see me in her eyes...
 I'm gonna burn and shine and multiply
 I'm gonna fill up the great divide
 You'll never break me with all the things you say
 Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway
 Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway
 Miss Halfway, Miss Halfway, Miss Halfway ...
