Artist/Band: Imogen Heap
Lyrics for Song: Half Life
Lyrics for Album: Ellipse [2009]



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 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 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

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 quarterback

A daft life



It's a half life with you as my quarterback

A daft life



Hold me

Darling please



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 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
