We got half a life, we got half a dream
We got half a love, we got half a scheme
Always sitting in the darkness, Ill wait for you
Nervous of the neighbors, Id like a hotel room
Cause Im indiscreet, cant keep quiet
Heaven I dont know how
I cant go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more twist
This affair is really going to break my heart

Living half a life is better than nothing, half a dream
You know I cant keep quiet cause Im indiscreet
I guess half a loaf leaves me feeling hungry
Half a glass, half a dream, half a life
Heaven I dont know how!
I cant go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more little twist
This affair is really going to break my heart

Lets call our friends! lets go hang out! lets go out dancing!
Lets jump and shout! lets go be seen! lets dress up chic!
Show were in love! right on our street!
Lets go out trashy! lets go act cheap!
What does it matter what other people think?
Step in the bright lights!
Lets go act wild!
I want to show that youre mine all mine

Heres to freezing in the doorways, heres to taking separate taxis
To our stolen conversations, were never seen together
Half a dream, half a life, heaven I dont know how!
But I cant go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist
This affair is really going to break my heart

I cant go on seeing you like this!
I cant go on seeing you like this!
I cant go on seeing you like this!
I cant go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist
I cant go on seeing you like this!
I cant go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist...
