Half Full

about

"Half Full" touches on the difficulties we face in life amidst romance, sex, friends, religion, heartbreak, life. Truth gets lost in the noise we create in our heads. We can try to run away from things, but the noise sticks around. Good times and good people help us remember the glass is half full even when times are tough. Recorded at Aerie Studio by Mark Addison (Band of Heathens, Joan Baez, Edwin McCain, Ian Moore) in Austin, TX after Addison and Diaz met through the 59 Songwriting Group in early 2019.

lyrics

Like the man going to church
We’re all looking for something
But we lead insular lives
And our search leaves us finding nothing
Do you have better grasp on reality
And is the good lord
Even good for you and you and me

To all the women I
Ever loved thank you
For setting me free
from the judgement and the cage
You placed on me
Does anyone have it better than me
Or are the good girls
Even good for you and you and me

Here’s to the boys
who took me in
And made me feel cool
And here’s to the lovers
Who took me in
And made me feel blue
Life was empty before you
And the glass just was half full
ls was just half full

Like a thief down in Mexico
We’re all looking to run away
But we get caught by our lives
Trapped by all the thoughts in our minds
Is it any better way down there
Or is the good life just another part of the nightmare

Here’s to the boys
who took me in
And made me feel cool
And here’s to the lovers
Who took me in
And made me feel blue
Life was empty before you
And the glass just half full
