Imogen Heap – Half Life Lyrics  Share

From Imogen Heap's album: Ellipse

I knew that i^,d get like this again,
that^,s why i try to keep at bay
be 100 percent when i^,m with you and then [with 100 pronounced a-hundred]
the perfect heart^,s length away

the stickler is you^,ve played not one beat wrong
you never promised me anything
even set me down and warned me just how they fall
i knew the odds were i^,d never win

Yet 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 eight 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

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
[ Half Life lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/i/imogen-heap/half-life/ ]
with you as my quarterback
a daft life

it^,s a half life
with you as my quarterback
a daft life

hold me
darling, please

you know you^,ll never be lonely
no, you^,ll always be loved
and maybe, you never need more than that
But for the surplus that loves
what^,s to become of us?
does it even register on your conscience?

long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd
air compress tight to explode
i^,m clenching my ticket to the only way out
as you disappear in a puff of smoke

its a half life
with you as my quarterback
a daft life
