Half the Time

from Kuya by Seeso

about

Written in about an hour during a rare prolific period. It ended up sounding like Jim Croce meets Tom Waits. One of my favorite songs I've ever written.

lyrics

Half the Time
Words and Music by Narciso Lobo, Jr.

Half the time I’m drinking gin, the other half I’m drunk
Half the time I’m telling lies, the other half is bunk
Half the time I’m half awake, remembering your skin
Half the time I lose the game, the other half I can’t win

Half the time you’re not around, the other half I’m alone
Half the time I bitch and whine, the other half I moan
Half the time I wish I hadn’t done half the things I do
Half the time I’m seeing red, the other half I’m blue

Half the time I’m on my knees, the other half’s no fun
Half the time I walk away from love, the other half I run
Half a chance is all I need to show you that I can change
Half a line’s all I got left, won’t you please meet me halfway?
Oh, half a line’s all I got left, won’t you please meet me halfway?
Half the Time
Words and Music by Narciso Lobo, Jr.

Half the time I’m drinking gin, the other half I’m drunk
Half the time I’m telling lies, the other half is bunk
Half the time I’m half awake, remembering your skin
Half the time I lose the game, the other half I can’t win

Half the time you’re not around, the other half I’m alone
Half the time I bitch and whine, the other half I moan
Half the time I wish I hadn’t done half the things I do
Half the time I’m seeing red, the other half I’m blue

Half the time I’m on my knees, the other half’s no fun
Half the time I walk away from love, the other half I run
Half a chance is all I need to show you that I can change
Half a line’s all I got left, won’t you please meet me halfway?
Oh, half a line’s all I got left, won’t you please meet me halfway?
