Half Life Songtext / Lyric

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 fall

I knew the odds were I'd never win



Yet 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

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
