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 every time 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

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

So what's your half life?

You spend half your life pretending you're like everybody else
