Half Life

歌詞

I knew that I'd get like this again That's why I try to keep at bay Be 100% when I'm with you and then The perfect heart's length away The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong You never promised me anything Even sat me down and warned me just how they'd fall I knew the odds were I'd never win And here I am It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life My self-worth measured in text back tempo It's been two days and 8 minutes too slow Well there may well be others but I still like to pretend That I'm the one you really want to grow old with Got a schedule to stick to, got a world to keep sweet You're so much to everyone all the time Will you ever slow down? Will I ever come first? The universe contracts to sigh It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life Hold me Hold me Hold me Darling, please You know you'll never be lonely, no you'll always be loved And maybe you never need more than that But for the surplus that loves, what's to become of us? Does it even register on your conscience? Long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd Air compressed tight to explode I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out As you disappear in a puff of smoke It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life
