Half a Heart
Jill Sobule
One leg in one leg out
What do you get with a half a heart
Part brave soul the rest is not
What do you get with a half a heart?
A half a mind, a half a spine
A half a glass, a half alive
One step in, one step out
What do you get with a half a heart
One breath in one breath out
Coming and going with a half a heart
One eye looks so lovingly
The other looks right through me
In search of something better or more beautiful
To fill you up, to fill your cup
To make you feel like you're the king of the hill
One step in, one step out
What do you get with a half a heart?
The angels on my shoulder whisper in my ears
Say "What've you got to lose"
The gremlins on the other side
Say "she doesn't really love you"
We're half way there, we're half way back
We've half a chance, we're so half assed
You say hello, I say goodbye
We turn in circles and we both change sides
One step in, one step out,
One breath in, one breath out,
One leg in, one leg out
What do you get with a half a heart?
