Lyrics Duncan Sheik

Duncan Sheik

Half-life

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
