Half‐Life Songtext
von Duncan Sheik

I′m awake 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 too much out of me to pretend

Tell me now, tell me how to make amends
Maybe, I need to see the daylight
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


I keep trying to understand
This thing and that thing, my fellow men
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 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
