Half-assed Lyrics - Reprieve - Ani Difranco

You start tripping 

And I start slipping away 

I was taught to zip it 

If I got nothing nice to say 

And down in the Texas of my heart 

Driving a really big truck 

Headed down a dirt road 

My love is scrunching up its features 

The really big eyes, big lips, big nose 

Just show me a moment that is mine 

Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed 

Make me forget every moment that went by 

And left me so half-hearted 

'cause I felt it so half-assed 

You are an unruly, translucent 

A dirty windshield with a shifting view 

So many cunning running landscapes 

For my dented door to open into 

I just wanna tune out all the billboards 

Weld myself a mental shield 

I just wanna put down all the pressures 

And feel how I really feel 

Just show me a moment that is mine 

Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed 

Make me forget every moment that went by 

And left me so half-hearted 

'cause I felt it so half-assed 

Spring is super in the supermarkets 

And the strawberries prance and glow 

Never mind that they're all kinda tart 

And tasteless as strawberries go 

Meanwhile, wild things are not for sale 

Anymore than they are for show 

So I'll be outside 

In love with the kind of beauty 

It takes more than eyes to know 

Just show me a moment that is mine 

Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed 

And I'll forget every moment that went by 

And left me so half-hearted 

'cause I felt it so half-assed
