Half-Life Lyrics by Double Dagger

More

2009

So you spent half your life
Trying to do everything in half the time
And by the time that you're done, your time has doubled
And you're just stuck again in that same old trouble

The one where you wake up covered in so much sweat
That smells like so much regret
And you're lying awake at 4 AM
And you wonder, how did you get stuck here again?

And you wake up covered in so much sweat
And it just soaked right through your bed
You're lying awake at 5 AM
And you wonder if this tunnel has light at the end

I could've built a battleship
In the time you wasted figuring
Some way to get out of it
Sailed around the world and back again

So you spent half your life
Trying to do everything in half the time
And by the time that you're done, your time has doubled
And you're just stuck again in that same old trouble

The one where you wake up covered in so much sweat
That smells like so much regret
You're lying awake at 4 AM
And you wonder, how did you get stuck here again?

And you wake up covered in so much sweat
And it just soaked right through your bed
Still lying awake at 5 AM
And you wonder if this tunnel has light at the end

Whoever said
That quitters never win
Well, they sure weren't
In the situation that I'm in

[Instrumental interlude]

Have you got something that you wanna confess?
Do you think that this is for the best
And maybe Dad'll get you out of this mess?
Have you got something to get off of your chest
With your dollar-store pregnancy test?
Have you got something to get off of your chest
With your dollar-store pregnancy test?
Maybe this year won't be like the rest
Maybe this year won't be like the rest
Maybe this year won't be like the rest
