lyrics

HALF LIFE
There is no space
for what you need to know
on the forms that I must fill out
I'm happiest alone
I'm miserable that way
All this stuff just wants to spill out

I take pleasure in the simple things
I love my headphones and my wedding ring

Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?
I don't think you even know just who the hell that is
You spend half your life pretending you're like everybody else
Like everybody else

I tell the same joke
many different ways
But you never seem to get it
You're jerking off
to catalogs
Don't you feel a bit pathetic?

I take pleasure in the simple things
I love my headphones and my wedding ring

You spend half your life remembering your life when you were young
And half your life dreaming how much better life could get
Well everytime you make a choice hey half your life is gone
All you got's a few big dreams divided into many small regrets
Like everybody else

Never take any pictures
Just try to remember
All I remember is trying
Here's a story I like
I think it happened to me
I don't even know if I'm lying

Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?
I don't think you even know just who the hell that is
No, I don't think you have a clue just who the hell that is
You spend half your life pretending you're like everybody else

Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing. ... more
