Miss Halfway Lyrics
You oughta fear her pretty, pretty mouth
Says I'm imperfect in every way
Miss Almost
Miss Maybe
Miss Halfway
I play Replacements songs and sigh
A waitress in the sky
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
But I'm busy making paper airplanes out of resumes
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
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 fill up the great divide
You'll never break me with all the things you say
Miss Almost
Miss Maybe
Miss Halfway
Miss Maybe
Miss Halfway
Miss Halfway
Miss Halfway
waitress in the sky is a song by the replacements.
This song is about her own doubts and insecurites about herself
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”
and shes trying to stop feeling pressure to be perfect all the time and to not put herself down all the time- to ignore the evil voices in her head
in short.... shes scitofrenic
Actually, this song is about how she is both an actress and a musician and she's torn between the two. She's definitely not "scitofrenic". Just confused.

I think it's about her self-perceived shortcomings and her belief that she'll succeed anyway, and also is partially addressed to an ex-boyfriend.
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…
This part sounds definitely sounds like she's speaking to an ex who criticized her in the past for doing little, dumb stuff like burning pies and saying the wrong things, but how that doesn't matter because she's going to be a success. And when she is a success, her ex is going to look at his current girlfriend and wish it were anya (you're gonna see me in her eyes).
Also, it's schizophrenic, and she's not. It's sarcastic.
