HALF PAST GONE


Verse:
He dropped his briefcase in the hall
He was runnin’ late and forgot to call
Toys were scattered on the couch
He moved a teddy bear and flopped right down

Pre-Chorus:
I fixed a plate for him to eat but he was already fast asleep
It’s only Half Past Eight and he’s Half Past Gone

Chorus:
Deadlines and overtime can be big warning signs
That life’s a little out of control
There’s things you can’t rewind like bedtimes and story times
You gotta hold their hands as they grow
Or you wake up and your life will be Half Past Gone

Verse:
The school play was Friday night
Kate was the second flower from the right
Annie forgot one of her lines
She turned bright red but things turned out fine

Pre-Chorus:
We wanted pictures with the girls in their costumes with their curls
By the time he got there we were Half Past Gone

Chorus:
Deadlines and overtime can be big warning signs
That life’s a little out of control
Birthdays Soccer Games and Picnics on Saturdays
You gotta hold their hands as they grow
Or you wake up and their lives will be Half Past Gone

Bridge:
He picked the kids up after school to be with them all afternoon
Shut off his phone and turned his life back on
There’s a note on his desk ‘tellin everyone he left
It’s only half past two and he’s half past gone

Chorus:
Deadlines and overtime can be big warning signs
That life’s a little out of control
There’s things you can’t rewind like bedtimes and story times
You gotta hold their hands as they grow
Or you wake up and your life will be Half Past Gone
Half past gone, Half past gone
