half of it
m. morello
c. 2005, new view music

i can be on the fence
it's a matter of self-defence
and i can be what i wanna' be
any day of the week
and i can be leisurely
and i can lounge around thinkin'
crushin' out cigarettes
drinkin' away regrets
and i could walk down the street
and laugh at the people that i meet
'cause they wouldn't wanna' be me
if given half a chance

but in my current circumstance
you could walk a mile
and not know where i stand
you could be for love or shove
and it's okay either way
'cause we are who we are
at the end of the day
but if you think you've got the hang of it
then you don't know the half of it
then you don't know the half of it

well i ain't lazy for not
i'll just say i forgot
fit in if that's what you need
follow someone else's lead
and i could give up
or give in
or get out
but there's somethin' to be said about
playin' hide and go seek
with an invisible me
and there ain't enough room out here
on the sideline
waitin' for it all to be clear
so, you can call me what you want to
i don't have to prove a thing to you

but in my current circumstance
you could walk a mile
and not know where i stand
you could be for love or shove
and it's okay either way
'cause we are who we are
at the end of the day
but if you think you've got the hang of it
then you don't know the half of it
then you don't know the half of it, half of it, half of it
then you don't know the half of it
then you don't know the half of it
