[00:05.10] I knew that I'd get like this again
[00:09.32] That's why I try to keep at bay
[00:13.69] Be 100% when I'm with you and then
[00:17.59] The perfect heart's length away
[00:22.96] The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong
[00:26.51] You never promised me anything
[00:30.79] Even sat me down and warned me just how they'd fall
[00:35.15] I knew the odds were I'd never win
[00:38.66] And here I am
[00:43.30] It's a half life
[00:47.26] With you as my quarterback
[00:51.89] A daft life
[00:57.10] My self-worth measured in text back tempo
[01:01.46] It's been two days and 8 minutes too slow
[01:06.30] Well there may well be others but I still like to pretend
[01:09.95] That I'm the one you really want to grow old with
[01:14.56] Got a schedule to stick to, got a world to keep sweet
[01:18.89] You're so much to everyone all the time
[01:23.79] Will you ever slow down? Will I ever come first?
[01:27.75] The universe contracts to sigh
[01:35.50] It's a half life
[01:40.10] With you as my quarter back
[01:44.58] A tough life
[01:53.10] It's a half life
[01:57.49] With you as my courtier man
[02:02.10] A tough life
[02:41.45] You know you'll never be lonely
[02:43.93] No you'll always be loved
[02:46.41] And maybe you'll never need more than that
[02:51.30] Of the sad place that love, is whats to become of us
[02:54.79] Does it even register on your conscience
[02:59.56] Long for one last showdown, from a box in a crowd
[03:03.97] Air compressed tight to explode
[03:07.89] I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out
[03:11.50] To disappear in a puff of smoke
[03:22.93] It's a half life
[03:27.27] With you as my courtier man
[03:31.56] Its a tough life.
