I knew that I'd get like this again
That's why I try to keep at bay
Be a hundred percent when I'm with you and then
A perfect hearts length away
The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong
You never promised me anything
Even sat me down, warned me just how they fall
And I knew the odds were I'd never win
And here I am
It's a half life
With you as my courtier man
A daft life
Myself worth mentioning a text back tempo
It's been two days late minutes to slow
There may well be others but I still like to pretend
That I'm the one you really want to grow old with
Ive got scheduled stick, to guard a world keeps sweet
Its so much to everyone all the time
Will you ever slow down will I ever come first
The universe contracts decide
It's a half life
With you as my quarter back
A tough life
It's a half life
With you as my courtier man
A tough life
You know you'll never be lonely
No you'll always be loved
And maybe you'll never need more than that
Of the sad place that love, is whats to become of us
Does it even register on your conscience
Long for one last showdown, from a box in a crowd
Air compressed tight to explode
I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out
To disappear in a puff of smoke
It's a half life
With you as my courtier man
Its a tough life.

maybe "quarterback" is just a substitute for "lover", so as to make the wordplay possible (half, quarter)
yeah, i really like that interpretation - the reference to American football kind of threw me, but when you put it like that i see what you mean. i suppose in literal terms a quaterback ought to be guiding you as well, protecting you, playing for your team, only the irony is this person isn't doing that for her.
