We've got half a life
We've got half a dream
We've got half a love
We've got half a scheme
Always sitting in the darkness
I'll wait for you
Nervous of the neighbors
I'd like a hotel room
'Cause I'm indiscreet
Can't keep quiet
Heaven I don't know how
I can't go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more little twist
This affair is really going to break my heart
Living half a life is better than nothing
Half a dream
You know I can't keep quiet
'Cause I'm indiscreet
I guess half a loaf leaves me feeling hungry
Half a glass
Half a dream, half a life
Heaven I don't know how
Let's call our friends
Let's go hang out
Let's go out dancing
Let's jump and shout
Let's go be seen
Let's dress up chic
Show we're in love
Right on our street
Let's go out trashy
Let's go act cheap
What does it matter
What other people think?
Step in the bright lights
Let's go act wild
I want to show that you're
Mine all mine
Here's to freezing in the doorways
Here's to taking separate taxis
To our stolen conversations
We're never seen together
Oh, half a dream
Half a love
Oh
I can't go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more little twist
That's what I said
Since we've been together
Nothing lasts forever
TrackTalk
There was one (guitar) part (of mine) I almost left, on 1/2 a Loaf. It would have been nice, but it wasn't REALLY needed. It was cluttering it up a little bit. It would have been just an ego trip on my part to hang my name on there as a guitar player.
