Lyrics
Half the Time
Every day is the same then it falls away
My fear don't fade away it just stays
Wish I could comprehend every point of view, but I can't so I'm just left here to miss you
Truth, she only wants me half the time
I wouldn't know if we were dying
Until she comes to me I'm crying
We lost the hold on time
It could always turn on a dime
I want to wear it on my mind
I want to find a way to lie
Until the clouds roll by
I wonder if the day will come when I will rise
Higher than the you in my eyes
Then I could grab hold of piece of mind
And say goodbye to you and your kind
