Charlie Wolf & The Small Calamities - Halftime lyrics

[Verse 1] All of these people from all different places sit still in their silence An army of lawnchairs arrayed in the field like a football memorial to people we were, and the ones we've become [Verse 2] I've been thinking about buying a life insurance policy Lawnmower, barbecue, reusable grocery bags All of these things to make people believe that I know what I'm doing and do it on purpose [Chorus] It's halftime, we're still playing this game It isn't over 'til the microphone's calling your name The thing about endings is they're just like the start of something new [Verse 3] Welcome to paradise, population overload We have got sweatshirts, and name tags, refreshments We're still in the thick of it so make yourself comfortable Give it a decade and you will be used to it [Verse 4] It's not like I miss it, it's not like I'd choose it, but sometimes I drift and I wind up in lawnchairs Stacked in a closet like mummified furniture with the people we were, the ones that we used to be [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] You can't stop, and you can't try It's too late now to turn back time First it's "hello", then it's "good night", then it's waiting for summers that never come Don't look behind the veil! [Coda] The start of something The start of something new The thing about endings
