Half of myself

from Driftwood by The Imaginary Suitcase

/

about

Yes, it's totally and deliberately a Jesus & Mary Chain ripoff.

lyrics

Seems the world will never be fed up with silly love songs
So here comes the time that I sing a silly of my own
There’s no place I’d rather be than where you are next to me
For my life before this point was only a rehearsal

Chorus
I’m only half of myself when you’re not around
And if I was a king, I would give you my crown

If I ever dream about someone else than you my love
Cut me up and throw me out I deserve it not a doubt
I will be the better man, I’ll be doing all I can
And if that is not enough, stretch your hand and smooth the rough
There’s no place I’d rather be than where you are next to me
I know I said it before, but I’m in for an encore
For I was stranded alone on a very distant shore
Til one day the horizon showed my rescue had begun

Chorus

So can you see you’re everything
The colours and the joy you bring
I won’t dream of an away
I just hope you’ll let me stay
I will be reliable
Like a German car of sorts
I will catch you if you fall
I will answer when you call
You’re the three faces of time
You’re the rough and you’re the kind
You’re the scholar and the teacher
The creator and the creature
You’re the ink and you’re the word
All the seasons of the world
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than where you are next to me

Chorus 2x
