Half Life
Navigating Love's Uncertain Path: Imogen Heap's Half Life
Lyrics
I knew that I'd get like this again
I anticipated experiencing these emotions again
That's why I try to keep at bay
I attempt to keep these feelings at a distance
Be a hundred percent when I'm with you and then
I aim to be fully present when I'm with you
A perfect hearts length away
But maintain a safe emotional distance
The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong
You have not made any mistakes in our relationship
You never promised me anything
No promises were made
Even sat me down, warned me just how they fall
You warned me about the potential challenges
And I knew the odds were I'd never win
I understood the probability of not succeeding
And here I am
Despite knowing the odds, I find myself in this situation
It's a half life
Life feels incomplete
With you as my courtier man
You are a significant part of my life
A daft life
Life seems irrational or foolish
Myself worth mentioning a text back tempo
Self-worth is conveyed through text messages with delayed responses
It's been two days late minutes to slow
Communication is delayed and too slow
There may well be others but I still like to pretend
I prefer to believe I'm your preferred choice
That I'm the one you really want to grow old with
I want to be the one you grow old with
Ive got scheduled stick, to guard a world keeps sweet
I have a set routine to maintain a harmonious world
Its so much to everyone all the time
It's challenging to balance everyone's needs
Will you ever slow down will I ever come first
Will you ever prioritize me?
The universe contracts decide
The universe's fate is undecided
It's a half life
Life still feels incomplete
With you as my quarter back
You play a significant role in my life
A tough life
Life is challenging
It's a half life
Life still feels incomplete
With you as my courtier man
You are a significant part of my life
A tough life
Life is challenging
You know you'll never be lonely
Assurance that you won't be alone
No you'll always be loved
Assurance of continuous love
And maybe you'll never need more than that
Maybe love is all that's needed
Of the sad place that love, is whats to become of us
Contemplating the potential sadness in our future
Does it even register on your conscience
Questioning if you are aware of the consequences
Long for one last showdown, from a box in a crowd
Longing for a final confrontation
Air compressed tight to explode
The pressure builds up, ready to release
I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out
Clutching a ticket as a way to escape
To disappear in a puff of smoke
Desire to disappear suddenly
It's a half life
Life still feels incomplete
With you as my courtier man
You play a significant role in my life
Its a tough life.
Life is challenging
