According to Chris Corner: “Half Life is about past relationships, your sexual history, talking about how losing someone is like having a limb chopped off, then having a phantom limb and getting an insect sting on that phantom limb'‘.
[Verse 1]
Half life wastes before it goes
It's funny how your bee sting touch never leaves me whole
It's not enough to stay here almost trying
You keep your last laugh, watch this dying
It's just your half time vertigo
And if you want an answer, I don't know
[Chorus]
If you had completed me
Don't think I'd be pleased with you
Don't think I'd compete with you
With half of me to take
[Verse 2]
Half life nothing I'd call home
It's lucky how these phantom limb bee stings never show
It's not enough to leave this falling kindly
You burn my star down twice as brightly
It's just your half light undertow
But if you need forgiveness, I don't know
[Chorus]
If you had completed me
Don't think I'd be pleased with you
Don't think I'd compete with you
With half of me to take
[Verse 3]
Half light breaks with nothing wrong
Just a corner of my bed where you don't belong
It's kind of you to notice no one's dying
You had your last laugh, almost crying
It's just your half life long to know
And if you need a reason, so it goes
[Chorus]
If you had completed me
Don't think I'd be pleased with you
Don't think I'd compete with you
With half of me to take
