Half the Time

You said, "Shelle, I'll be there soon." Felt the gold light fading On the front steps waiting Pretending you'd come through Wanted you to show With two fishing poles Take me from where I'd been But I grew up, picking you up, most 2 am's The ghosts you runaway with tell you You don't need to change They don't love you like I do It'll be me who pays You smile at me and say you're fine You say you'll quit when you make up your mind Yeah those spirits keep you open and kind Give me all your love Cmon give me all your love Give me all your love Half the time You said, "Shelle I feel like hell Ripped your paper gown, and your IVs out You said I'll do this by myself When I was younger, your were stronger Nothing wore you down You'd bring up the past, made me laugh You have no memory for stories now The ghosts you runaway with tell you You don't need to change They don't love you like I do It'll be me who pays You smile at me and say you're fine You say you'll quit when you make up your mind Yeah those spirits keep you open and kind Give me all your love Cmon give me all your love Give me all your love Half the time
