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
