lyrics

half in bits
(d.adam/ e.baker/ a.shaw)

pulling out the stops from every port,
pull it out the bag when asked for more,
i’m pulling back,
i’m reigning in but i’m still waiting,

every weathered face the city claims,
every name i chase the moonshine chains,
and every time i leave i can’t escape the waiting,

i only want to come to life but for every dream you pay the price,

i’m still clinging to the wreckage,
looks as though i’m half in bits again,
memories are so expensive,
you can’t take out a loan on them,

hush a bye - bye,
half in bits again,
cry baby cry,
i’m half in bits,
hush a bye bye,
half in bits again (baby),

running out of reasons i can’t speak,
running to be swept up off my feet,
i’m running after you but i can’t be left waiting,

i’m missing all the things i never got,
missing all the breaks without the shots,
missing out again so i’m the fool left waiting,

so give me more of what comes next,
i’m running out of nothing left.

i’m still clinging to the wreckage,
looks as though i’m half in bits again,
memories are so expensive,
you can’t take out a loan on them,

hush a bye - bye,
half in bits again,
cry baby cry,
i’m half in bits,
hush a bye bye,
half in bits again (baby),

i only want to come to life but for every dream you pay the price,
throw a line - shine a light,
take a breath and close my eyes,
so give me more of what comes next,
i’m running out of nothing left,

i’m still clinging to the wreckage,
looks as though i’m half in bits again,
memories are so expensive,
you can’t take out a loan on them,

hush a bye - bye,
half in bits again,
cry baby cry,
i’m half in bits,
hush a bye bye...
half in bits again,

(hush a bye bye)
oh i’m half in bits again,
(cry baby cry)
oh i’m half in bits again...
