Imogen Heap - Half Life lyrics

rate me

<br>

I knew that i'd get like this again, <br>that's why i try to keep at bay <br>be 100 percent when i'm with you and then [with 100 pronounced a-hundred] <br>the perfect heart's length away <br> <br>the stickler is you've played not one beat wrong <br>you never promised me anything <br>even set me down and warned me just how they fall <br>i knew the odds were i'd never win <br> <br>Yet here i am <br> <br>it's a half life <br>with you as my quarterback <br>a daft life <br> <br>my self-worth measured in text-back tempo <br>it's been two days and eight minutes too slow <br>there may well be others but I still like to pretend <br>that i'm the one you really want to grow old with <br> <br>got a schedule to stick to, got a world to keep sweet <br>You're so much to everyone all the time <br>will you ever slow down? will i ever come first? <br>the universe contracts to sigh <br> <br>it's a half life <br>with you as my quarterback <br>a daft life <br> <br>it's a half life <br>with you as my quarterback <br>a daft life <br> <br>hold me <br>darling, please <br> <br>you know you'll never be lonely <br>no, you'll always be loved <br>and maybe, you never need more than that <br>But for the surplus that loves <br>what's to become of us? <br>does it even register on your conscience? <br> <br>long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd <br>air compress tight to explode <br>i'm clenching my ticket to the only way out <br>as you disappear in a puff of smoke <br> <br>its a half life <br>with you as my quarterback <br>a daft life<br>
