Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 wanna decide 'cause it's worth deciding
To work on finding somethin' more than this fear
[PreChorus]
It takes so much out of me to pretend
But tell me now, tell me how to make amends
[Chorus]
Maybe I need to see the daylight
Leave behind the half-life
Don't you see I'm breakin' down?
Oh, lately, somethin' here don't feel right
This is just a half-life
Is there really no escape? No escape from time of any kind?
[Verse 2]
I keep tryin' to understand
This thing and that thing, my fellow man
I guess I'll let you know when I figure it out
And 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
[PreChorus]
It takes too much out of me to pretend
[Chorus]
Maybe I need to see your daylight
Leave behind the half-life
Don't you see I'm breakin' down?
Oh, lately, somethin' here don't feel right
This is just a half-life
Is there really no escape? No escape from time of any kind?
[Refrain]
Well, come on, let's fall in love
Well, come on, let's fall in love
Well, come on, let's fall in love
Again
[Verse 3]
'Cause lately, somethin' here don't feel right
This is just a half-life
Without you, I am breakin' down
Oh, wake me, I wanna see the daylight
Save me from this half-life
Let's you and I escape, escape from time
[Refrain]
Well, come on, let's fall in love
Come on, let's fall in love
Come on, let's fall in love
Again
