"Split In Half" lyrics

Late nights in the summer
Before the lake got frozen over
How we dove in, never thinking
These were memories we were makin' growing up

State lines, driving off road
Wind screaming through our rolled down windows
And the first time we fell over
From the booze stolen from your cupboard and throwing up

Got my eyes glued to the rearview mirror
Scared to see that it's been some years
Since I've done a thing worth remembering

All I want is half of a memory
So that time can let me
Fill in the cracks
From when I split in half
Rewrite the ending
Before I empty
I'll recollect the past
Won't give what time wants back
'Cause I'm split in half

Laughing, under porch lights
Crickets singing while my friends got high
One was tripping, started crying
"Oh God I think I'm dying, call the cops"

I'm back home, not welcome here
Or recognize what I once held dear
Haven't done a thing worth remembering

All I want is half of a memory
So that time can let me
Fill in the cracks
From when I split in half
Rewrite the ending
Before I empty
I'll recollect the past
Won't give what time wants back
'Cause I'm split in half

Love my family, it's not the same
My sisters both got new last names
And it scares me, I'm aging
And so are both my parents
So can I have it back?

I just want back
Half a memory
Since time won't let me
Fill in the cracks
So I split in half
Before the ending
And while I empty
I'll recollect the past
And keep what time wanted back
