Performance tip
When rehearsing Half the Way, mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. Rehearse that transition in Half the Way before worrying about stage movement.
Should you sing it?
Choose Half the Way when a lived-in, first-person delivery suits you. It has a heavily repeated refrain, with fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
