Half As Much
Softies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
Will you think of me today, and do I take your breath away
When I look into the sky I know I'll love you 'till I die
Do you ever feel that way, what can I do to make you stay

how much do you love me
Is it half as much as I know I love you
How much do you love me

Could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
If you don't know like I do then tell me quick
Before I make a fool of myself and of you

pocket full of pennies and a paper plate that's full of sand
Blow a kiss aimed at your cheek
And dream of you each day this week

how much do you love me
Is it half as much as I know I love you
How much do you love me
Could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
If you don't know like I do then tell me quick
Before I make a fool of myself and you

is this going nowhere
Do you laugh when I think that you care
Should I believe them when they say you're not there

would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
Will you think of me today, or do I take your breath away
