Half Asleep lyrics

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
