Half Life - Imogen Heap
I knew that I'd get like this again That's why I try to keep at bay Be a hundred percent when I'm with you and then A perfect heart's length away The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong You never promised me anything Even sat me down, warned me just how they fall And 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 2 days and 8 minutes too slow There may well be others but I still like to pretend That I'm the one you really want to grow old with You've got a schedule to stick to Got a world to keep sweet It's so much to everyone all the time Will you ever slow down? Will I ever come first? The universe contracts decide 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 You know you'll never be lonely You know you'll always be loved And maybe you'll never need more than that Of the sad place that loves, what's to become of us? Does it even register on your conscience? Along for one last showdown From a box in the 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
