lyrics

Half of the time
I think twice to myself
Am I halving the time of my life

Am too much for you
And hardly anyone to me
Am I only here half of the time

I’m half off today
Can you turn me all on
Do you have a half life
of your own?

And if you say it’s true
I do, I do
Do you think that maybe
We could make one out of two?

Let me check back with the mirror
I’ll try and pull myself together
Though I must say I feel I’m
Coming undone

Will two halves make a door
or will we fall through the floor

Or take away one
And get the lone sum

The moon is half empty
the sun is too bright
How do you stand all the light

We’re all overdone
having so much sun
They’ve hidden the night from us

Are you half off today
Can I turn you all on
Do you have a half life
Like my own?

And if you say it’s true
I do, I do
Do you think that baby
We could make one out of two?

Would it ever do
A me and you
A me and you
A me and you
A me and you?
