Half Asleep Lyrics by Yeasayer

Amen & Goodbye (Japanese Version)

2016

[Refrain: Suzzy Roche]
There's enough light here for those whose
One desire is to show you
Only darkness for the first walking below us
So deliver me from evil
'Cause the little things relieve us
Even if we might be half asleep, we need them

[Verse 1: Anand Wilder]
At night sometimes I wake up
The company I'm keeping
The colors on my walls
I don't recognize at all
She said "I've seen your face somewhere
Now fuck me while I'm sleeping
Wasn't that the tops?
We're getting off to a good start"

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Anand Wilder]
She said, "Now I don't feel so lost
I think that I'm in love with you
Trust me, I can tell
I have an instinct for these things"
"Let's see how it goes
I like your duvet covers
The fireplace seems nice
Will I see you in the morning?"

[Refrain: Suzzy Roche]
There's enough light here for those whose
One desire is to show you
Only darkness for the first walking below us
So deliver me from evil
'Cause the little things relieve us
Even if we might be half asleep, we need them

[Bridge: Anand Wilder]
But I can't see straightforward
How it begins, I never remember
What was the point of being adored?
I could convince you with O.N.E, but my excuses are several

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Anand Wilder & Suzzy Roche]
But I can't see straightforward
What was the point of being adored?
How it begins, I never remember
I could convince you with O.N.E, excuses are several
What was the point of being adored?
What was the point of being adored?
How it begins, I never remember
I could convince you with O.N.E, excuses are several
But I can't see straightforward
What was the point of being adored?
How it begins, I never remember
I could convince you with O.N.E, excuses are several
I can't see straightforward
What was the point of being adored?
How it begins, I never remember
I could convince you with O.N.E, excuses are several
I can't see straightforward
What was the point of being adored?
How it begins, I never remember
I could convince you with O.N.E, excuses are several
