I used to walk along the opposite side of the road and made others get out of my way
I used to think I could sit and wait for the times
but they wont come until I meet them halfway
I'm halfway home and I'm on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
I plan to leave here after supper time
that's when traffic is light, all I need is a sign
and I'll be alright. I'll be fine
I used to think that i could just sleep and then I'd dream
And everything it would come to me
Until I woke one day without anything to eat
Lying on the opposite side of the street
I'm halfway home and I'm still out on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
Because it ain't my time to stay or say
I'll never lay down.
I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the time
But I know I gotta meet them halfway
I'm halfway home I tried home running with the flow
I'm halfway there. Ain't it funny how everybody seems to care
I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
All I needed was a sign and I'll be alright.
I'll be fine.
I used to think I could sit and wait for the times
but they wont come until I meet them halfway
I'm halfway home and I'm on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind

that's when traffic is light, all I need is a sign
and I'll be alright. I'll be fine
I used to think that i could just sleep and then I'd dream
And everything it would come to me
Until I woke one day without anything to eat
Lying on the opposite side of the street
I'm halfway home and I'm still out on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
Because it ain't my time to stay or say
I'll never lay down.
I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the time
But I know I gotta meet them halfway
I'm halfway home I tried home running with the flow
I'm halfway there. Ain't it funny how everybody seems to care
I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
All I needed was a sign and I'll be alright.
I'll be fine.

to me, this song is about death.....
most likely suicide... he thought he could wait for time to take him(waiting to die) but he's gotta meet halfway, take care of it himself.
leaving after supper time, traffic is light... (referring to the traffic of souls going to heaven or elsewhere)
he just needs a sign, that final push to help him make the decision.
he used to sleep and dream of better but it never came, and he's realized its not going to. its not his time to stay, and its not his time to say, "i'll never lay down" (he's not going to show bravery)
he's halfway home (home being a state of mind, or possibly he thinks he is going to heaven.
he's tried going with the flow and just drifting through life.
everybody seems to care so much (sarcasm.) of course they care NOW. after he's gone, but no one noticed his pain before.
suppertime... in heaven.. they serve bread and wine. (could also be referring to his last meal or family gathering before he departs.)
and lastly he reassures himself that after words he will be ok. that everything will be ok.
