    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
