Half Life lyrics

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 hearts 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 id never win
and here i am

its a half life
with you as my quarter-back
a daft life

myself worth mentioning takes back tempo
its been 2 days, 8 minutes to slow
there may still be others but i like to pretend
that I'm the one you really want to grow old with

Ive got scheduled stick , to guard a world keeps sweet
its so much to everyone all the time
will you ever slow down. will i ever come first
the universe contracts decide

a half life
with you as my quarter-back
a daft life
it's a half life
with you as my quarter-back
a daft life

[INSTRUMENTAL]

you know you'll never be lonely
no, you know 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

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 I disappear in a puff of smoke

its a half life
with you as my quarter-back
its a daft life
