Half Lit

Original

Like that neon hanging on the wall, missing a couple letters

Like a Marlboro left in a tray and barely smoking

Like that in-between, stars coming out, sky burning redder

Like I'm getting on this third drink, I'm holding

Girl, we always keep it halfway on

Halfway off, halfway together

Half-"come over", half-"we know better"

Baby, we got it half-right, half-wrong

Half-here, and half-gone

Can't put it out, but can't quit

So, we keep on keeping this old flame half-lit

All it takes is a "Where you at? Come and get me"

And I'm on my way right back down that dead end

Ain't no backing out, or turning 'round when you kiss me

But look at you, baby, who could blame me for wanting you again

Girl, we always keep it halfway on

Halfway off, halfway together

Half-"come over", half-"we know better"

Baby, we got it half-right, half-wrong

Half-here, and half-gone

Can't put it out, but can't quit

So, we keep on keeping this old flame half-lit

Keeping this thing half-lit

Like that moon coming through the blinds

Like that look in your eyes

Girl, we're gonna keep it halfway on

Halfway off, halfway together

Half-"come over", half-"we know better"

Baby, we got it half-right, half-wrong

Half-here, and half-gone

Can't put it out, but can't quit

So, we keep on keeping this old flame half-lit

Yeah, you know we always gonna keep this half-lit
