Duncan Sheik › Lyrics › Half-Life

I'm awake in the afternoon
I fell asleep in the living room
It's one of those moments
When everything is so clear

Before the truth goes back into hiding
I want to decide 'cause it's worth deciding
To work on finding something more than this fear

It takes so much out of me to pretend
Well, tell me now, tell me how to make amends?

Maybe, I need to see the daylight
Leave behind the half-life
Don't you see I'm breaking down

Oh, lately, something here don't feel right
This is just a half-life
Is there really no escape?
No escape from time of any kind

I keep trying to understand
This thing and that thing, my fellow man
I guess I'll let you know when I figure it out

But I don't mind a few mysteries
They can stay that way it's fine by me
But you are another mystery I am missing

It takes too much out of me to pretend

Maybe, I need to see the daylight
To leave behind this half-life
Don't you see I'm breaking down?

Oh, lately, something here don't feel right
This is just a half-life,
Is there really no escape?
No escape from time of any kind

Come on, let's fall in love
Come on, let's fall in love
Come on, let's fall in love, again

'Cause lately something here don't feel right
This is just a half-life
Without you I am breaking down

Wake me, I want to see the daylight
Save me from this half-life
Let's you and I escape, escape from time

Come on, let's fall in love
Come on, let's fall in love
Come on, let's fall in love, again
