Half The Time

(album: Phase 1 - 1998)

Wouldn't it be nice
If there were more hours in a day
There'd be more time to look good
And lots more time to stay

If you had the time, half the time
If you had the time, half the time
How would you spend it,
If you didn't have to lend it?

You may have had hours
You've spent waiting to leave
Consuming those minutes
Was frustration indeed

If you had that time, all that time
If you had that time, go that time
It was a bore when you got there
You had to hurry just to leave

Watching this long race
Is the sport for me
& watching you keep pace
Is exciting to see

If you lend the time, half the time
& you spend the time, half the time
I'm not sure who's winning
Or if you just try to place

You hurry to get there
Then you hurry to leave
Who did you meet there?
Or did you have time to see

You may have had hours
You spend waiting to leave
Consuming those minutes
But it's frustration indeed

If you had that time, all that time
If you had that time, go that time
It was a bore when you got there
You had to hurry just to leave

Wouldn't it be nice
If there were more hours in a day
There'd be more time to look good
And lots more time to stay

If you had the time, half the time
If you had the time, half the time
How would you spend it,
if you didn't have to lend it?

You hurry to get there
Then you hurry to leave
Who did you meet there?
Or did you have time to see
