Half a Page

[Verse 1] The draft sits open on my desk Half the sentence, half the afternoon I fold the page before it's late and let tomorrow read the rest [Pre-Chorus] I could keep working, pushing past the line but the four o'clock light says it's closing time [Chorus] The paper stays folded on the table half a sentence is as far as I'm able Not tonight the pencil goes down, the light stays low Not tonight that's the plan [Verse 2] My notes stay folded on the shelf Half the letter, half the evening I leave the desk before it's late and trust tomorrow keeps the rest [Pre-Chorus] I could keep working, pushing past the line but the four o'clock light says it's closing time [Chorus] The paper stays folded on the table half a sentence is as far as I'm able Not tonight the pencil goes down, the light stays low Not tonight that's the plan [Bridge] Maybe the story slows before it's whole maybe a page can sit and wait its turn I'm not behind, I'm just choosing my own tempo tomorrow gets the parts I couldn't earn tonight [Chorus - Final] The paper stays folded on the table half a sentence is as far as I'm able Not tonight the pencil goes down, the light stays low Not tonight~~ The paper stays folded on the table half a sentence is as far as I'm able Not tonight the pencil goes down, the light stays low Not tonight that's the plan
