Halfway There

[Verse] Play your part just get along Act your age for the sake of it I've always heard it in my head Never once have I not hated it [Verse 2] I've never felt it in my heart Grown complacent in my old age Even if I was doomed from the start And my cradle was my first grave [Chorus] I can't fall apart when I was never based Still blinded in the dark yet sunlight hurts my face Halfway there and the last half looks like hell First two quarters seemed the worst until I paid my first bill [Bridge] Running from shadows trying to find the light Lost in the moments that keep me up at night Age like a burden memories turn to dust Youthful dreams withered in life's unjust I've never felt in my heart. I've grown complacent in my old age, even if I was dying from the start, and my cradle was my first grave. halfway there, and the last half looks like hell. first two quarters seemed the worst until I paid my first bill. looking back and laughing at the times I thought were useless. if I took it back, I'd be lacking that reminder times meant for losing. lost on red washboard roads with your people midnight cruising. then a decades change of rearrangements. the records fade into an awkward silence. you realize that time and placement only mattered when nothing mattered inside your best friends basement. [Chorus] I can't fall apart when I was never based Still blinded in the dark yet sunlight hurts my face Halfway there and the last half looks like hell First two quarters seemed the worst until I paid my first bill
