Half Life

[00:08.56] I knew that I'd get like this again
[00:12.82] That's why I try to keep at bay
[00:17.19] Be a hundred percent when I'm with you and then
[00:21.23] The perfect heart's length away
[00:25.85] The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong
[00:29.84] You never promised me anything
[00:34.49] Even sat me down
[00:36.24] And warned me just how they fall
[00:38.52] I knew the odds were I'd never win
[00:42.34] Yet here I am
[00:46.50] It's a half life
[00:51.08] With you as my quarterback
[00:55.47] A daft life
[01:00.82] My self-worth measured in text back tempo
[01:04.93] It's been two days and eight minutes too slow
[01:09.52] Well there may well be others but I still like to pretend
[01:13.51] That I'm the one you really want to grow old with
[01:17.99] You've got a schedule to stick to
[01:20.02] You've got a world to keep sweet
[01:22.43] You're so much to everyone all the time
[01:27.07] Will you ever slow down?
[01:28.95] Will I ever come first?
[01:31.02] The universe contracts to sigh
[01:35.81]
[01:38.92] It's a half life
[01:43.38] With you as my quarterback
[01:47.79] A daft life
[01:51.44]
[01:56.30] It's a half life
[02:00.83] With you as my quarterback
[02:05.26] A daft life
[02:11.16] Hold
[02:15.39] Me
[02:19.92] Hold
[02:24.18] Me
[02:27.20]
[02:29.28] Hold
[02:32.86] Me
[02:37.14] Darling
[02:41.53] Please
[02:45.04] You know you'll never be lonely
[02:47.37] No, you'll always be loved
[02:49.55] And maybe you never need more than that
[02:54.49] But for the surplus that loves
[02:56.48] What's to become of us?
[02:58.33] Does it even register on your conscience?
[03:02.96] Long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd
[03:07.40] Air compressed tight to explode
[03:11.97] I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out
[03:15.88] As you disappear in a puff of smoke
[03:21.09]
[03:25.91] It's a half life
[03:30.57] With you as my quarterback
[03:34.90] A daft life
[03:35.85]
