Half-Asleep Lyrics by Alyssa Lie

2020

Do we ever wake up?
Are we constantly chasing a dream
That we’re too afraid of?
Are we going to
Spend the rest of our lives
Running from all that we know to be true?
Clock’s ticking on our hands
We’re slipping into quicksand
Time’s running out
We’re losing sleep
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we going to live
Like there’s no-one there
We’ve got time to spare
I could kiss you all night
And make you feel like
You’re missing out
We’re losing sleep
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are you satisfied
Getting high every night
On a drug that wears out
Beyond midnight?
Could you survive
Every sunrise you’d wake up beside me
To find that I'm gone
And realise your reality
Was just a beautiful lie?
Clock’s ticking on our hands
We’re slipping into quicksand
Time’s running out
We’re losing sleep
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we going to live
Like there’s no-one there
We’ve got time to spare
We can do this all night
And never feel like
We’re missing out
We’re losing sleep
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live —
Are we flirting with destiny?
Caught up in the allure of a world
Where we could be free
Is it easier walking through life
Like a daydream living in a man-made fantasy?
Would you risk your heart for me?
I’d bend the rules to keep you here
Can we let go when it’s time to leave
Take flight in the night on an angel’s wings?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we going to live
Like we just don’t care
While we’re saying a prayer?
We can love all night
And never feel like
We’re missing out
We’re losing sleep
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we going to live
Like we just don’t care
While we’re saying a prayer?
We can love all night
And never feel like
We’re missing out
We’re losing sleep
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
Are we just going to live half-asleep?
