Half asleep, half a billboard, half a street, that's my window,
|
All in all, If you wanna know, I'm half asleep
|
Old friends and strangers, they treat me like a little girl,
|
But not you dear, you were always here
|
|
But back in the black and white spotlight, and I smoke a pack past,
|
And you were sitting pretty then, just like you're doing now,
|
I was so convinced, or so they say, I could have gone all the way,
|
Like everything else I did it halfway
|
|
Half asleep, that's where the dreams and demons meet, say stop the laughter,
|
Dim the roar, this clown's not funny anymore
|
Friends used to say that to me, treat me like a little girl,
|
But not you dear, you were always here
|
|
Like back when we tripped the light out of sight,
|
The band would play, I'd sing my heart out for drunken crowds,
|
It didn't mean a thing, we were so overcome, I loved you so,
|
That it seemed like an hour ago
|
|
And when I'm down and out, I try to figure out,
|
What was it all about? was the spark always there?
|
I only know now, don't wanna take another breath
|
|
Half asleep
|
|
No keep talking I'm still here, don't let them take you away my dear
|
Someone said "He can't hear you, he's half asleep"
|
|
Half asleep
