Meet Me Half Way

I think its about two people in a relationship who've had a fight that could tear them apart and need each other to "meet halfway" - aka compromise or try harder at fixing things.

I also think its a part of the song where the girl is willing to compromise (the chorus), and the guy is only just realizing what he could loose if he chooses to be stubborn/lazy (I spent my time just thinking, thinking, thinking about you/Every single day yes, I'm really missing, missing you/And all those things we use to, use to, use to do).

it take 2 for love. she's waiting to him to catch up. b/c shes afraid if she keeps loving him more she might get hurt. so shes waiting for him to catch up on her love. its a cute song.

I think it's about two people who once had a meaningful relationship with each other (could be a friendship or more intimate) and overtime there was a disconnect between the two. He's telling her how much he misses her and how he wants her around and she's reaching out to him saying I'm doing my part; meet me half way, and he's claiming he is too (by saying he's willing to travel to all these different, and in some cases exaggerated places to reach her) but really it's a bunch of smoke and mirrors. At one point he even says "Tell me where you wanna meet" as if she hasn't been saying the entire time.

I think it is defintely about compromise in a relationship. Waiting at the borderline is expressing she is waiting at the 1/2 way mark.

I think he could be all talk but no action. Sometimes men say so much and sweep a woman off her feet initially but then when you realize it, you can not go any further with the relationship. Some men can not go past that point and it is like being in two seperate realities.

Also could be a man who is over the top and wants way to much from the relationship, expressing to the woman needs she can not live up too.

But I think it is definitely about two people who are in love but are at a cross road and they are being stubborn. More so the man because she is the one asking to meet her half way...lying alone in a paradise that they could be in if their was compromise. They are both suffering none the less and want to be with one another. But in love wanting to be with someone is not always a healthy desire, especially if there is lack of balance. :)

This is a TUNE! I love this song, one of the best on the album!

too good!

First off, awesome song.

Next, the meaning. I'll take a shot in the dark with this one. I'm thinking it could be about friends, and it was perhaps turning into something more (For the sake of conversation I'll assume Fergie's the girl's POV and so forth), and the girl felt it. She confesses her feelings/devotion to him and the guy has no idea how to react, so they fall out for a while.

The guy realises he loves and misses her, ("I spent my time just thinkin thinkin thinkin bout you, every single day yes, I'm really missin' missin' you") but is perhaps a little afraid to make the leap. The girl really wants them to be together, but there's only so much she can do ("Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay, I can't go any further than this, I want you so bad it's my only wish").

All she can really hope now is that he'll get off his pedestal and meet her halfway. In the meantime, she'll be waiting.

This song samples both "When You Were Young" by The Killers and "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs if I'm not mistaken... right?

i would think it would mean meeting halfway to fall in love cause it takes two to fall in love and you have to meet in the middle.... that's just what i got first time listening to it.

i definitely agree with shelly247's interpretation, which ironically describes my life at this very moment.
