Half asleep, half a billboard, half a street, thatˤs my window,
All in all, if you wanna know, iˤm 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 youˤre 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, thatˤs where the dreams and demons meet, say stop the laughter,
Dim the roar, this clownˤs 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, iˤd sing my heart out for drunken crowds,
It didnˤt mean a thing, we were so overcome, i loved you so,
That it seemed like an hour ago

And when iˤm down and out, i try to figure out,
What was it all about? was the spark always there?
I only know now, donˤt wanna take another breath

Half asleep

No keep talking iˤm still here, donˤt let them take you away my dear
Someone said "he canˤt hear you, heˤs half asleep"

Half asleep
