Half Life - Imogen Heap (instrumental)

Confessions

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

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 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

You're so much to everyone all the time

Will you ever slow down? Will I ever come first?

The universe contracts to sign

Hold me darling, please

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

But of 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 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
