Lyrics

Half the Things

Half the things in here don't work
But I don't have the heart to throw them out
The walls are washed, the carpets are turned up
We're the only ones there

Now and then it's good to know
Why everything happens for a reason
I know you cross your heart
I will find you

Half the things with me don't work
But you don't have the heart to throw me out
Faces are worst, my parent's have turned on
Really glad they did too

Now and then it's good to know
Why everything happens for a reason
I know you cross your heart
I will find you

Now, I'm on an island
I'm on an island
I'm on an island
I'm on an island
I'm on an island
I'm on an island
I'm on an island
I'm on an island

I'm on an island, where no one ever visits
Wasting all my time here
I'll never get it finished
I'm on an island, where no one ever visits
Wasting all my time here
I'll never get it finished

Half the things with me don't work
But I don't have the heart to throw me out
