(álbum: AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS - 2022)

I pray the storm electrifies you
And shocks the light into your eyes
I've been following the lightning
Hoping that it might strike twice
Diving head first while you're waiting
I hold my breath and count to five
To try to wait for perfect timing
You're stuck on my mind
Oh, I

I need fifty-fifty
We're zero and a hundred
It hurts you just a little
But I go catatonic
When you've got it all
And I've got less than nothing
You might break me
Into fifty-fifty
You might break me
Into fifty fifty

I try to jump the double yellow
The dotted white's so far behind
Sat on the edges of your iris
And I tumbled inside, oh I

You were never mine
But still you're living
Can't resuscitate
What's never breathed in
I suffocate on my own time

I need fifty-fifty
We're zero and a hundred
It hurts you just a little
But I go catatonic
When you've got it all
And I've got less than nothing
You might break me
Into fifty fifty
You might break me
Into fifty fifty

I need fifty-fifty
We're zero and a hundred
It hurts you just a little
But I go catatonic
When you've got it all
And I've got less than nothing
You might break me
Into fifty-fifty
