half measures

Iron & Wine

Some do, some don t
Some would, now they won t
I m trying every day

Half a man only walks
Halfway around the block
And half measures are all he takes

What s useless in the morning
Can be useless all day
Call me cruel, call me a fool
I don t want to say goodbye

Some look and some will find
I try to keep what s left behind
While some easily let it go

Half men, good or bad
Half words are all they have
And half lives are all they know

What s useless in the evening
Can be useless all night
Call me cruel, call me a fool
I don t want to say goodbye

Goodbye
