Half-life

Duncan Sheik

I'm awake in the afternoon

I fell asleep in the living room

and 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

tell me now, tell me how to make amends



maybe, I need to see the daylight

to leave behind this half-life

don't you see I'm breaking down



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

and you are another mystery i am missing



It takes so 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



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 lets fall in love

come on lets fall in love

come on lets 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, let me see the daylight

save me from this half-life

let's you and I escape

escape from time



come on lets fall in love

come on lets fall in love

come on lets fall in love

again
