Half a Heart

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? --- Half a Heart - Jill Sobule
