Half Life歌词

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 quarter back
A tough life
It's a half life
With you as my courtier man
A tough life
You know you'll never be lonely
No you'll always be loved
And maybe you'll never need more than that
Of the sad place that love, is whats 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
To disappear in a puff of smoke
It's a half life
With you as my courtier man
Its a tough life.
