Half Life Lyrics - Ellipse - Imogen Heap

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 hearts 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 

And here I am 

It's a half life 

With you as my courtier man 

A daft life 

Myself worth mentioning a text back tempo 

It's been two days late minutes to slow 

There may well be others but I still like to pretend 

That I'm the one you really want to grow old with 

Ive got scheduled stick, to guard a world keeps sweet 

Its so much to everyone all the time 

Will you ever slow down will I ever come first 

The universe contracts decide 

It's a half life 

With you as my quarter back 

A tough life 

It's a half life 

With you as my courtier man 

A tough life 

You know you'll never be lonely 

No you'll always be loved 

And maybe you'll never need more than that 

Of the sad place that love, is whats to become of us 

Does it even register on your conscience 

Long for one last showdown, from a box in a crowd 

Air compressed tight to explode 

I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out 

To disappear in a puff of smoke 

It's a half life 

With you as my courtier man 

Its a tough life.
