I knew that I'd get like this again
That's why I try to keep at bayBe a hundred percentwhen I'm with you and then
perfect A heart's length away

The stickler is you've playednot one beat wrong
You never promised me anything/rEven sat down,warned me they me falljust how
And I knew the odds were I'd never winAnd here I am

It's a half lifewith you as my quarterback

A daft life       My self-worth measured in text back tempoIt's been 2 days and 8 minutes slowtoo

There may well be othersbut I still like to pretendthat I'm the one youreally want to grow old with

You've got a schedule to stick toGot a world to keep much sweetIt's to so everyone all the time     Will you ever slow down?
Will I ever come first?The universe contracts decideIt's a half life

With you as my quarterbackA daft lifeIt's a half lifeWith you as my quarterback

A daft life  You know you'll never be lonelyYou know you'll always be loved

And maybe you'll never than need thatmore

Of the sad place that loves,what's to become of us?Does it even register on your conscience?

Along for one last showdown
From a box in the crowd,air compressed tight to explodeI'm clenching my ticket to the only way out
As you disappear in a puff of smokeIt's a half life
With you as my quarterbackA daft life
