Arcade Fire - Half Light I lyrics

rate me

You told us that

We were too young

Now that night's closing in

And in the half light

We run

Lock us up safe

And hide the key

But the night tears us loose

And in the half light

We're free

Strange how the half light

Can make a place new

You can't recognize me

And I can't recognize you

We run through the streets

That we know so well

And the houses hide so much

We're in the half light

None of us can tell

They hide the ocean in a shell

The ocean in a shell

Our heads are just houses

Without enough windows

They say you hear human voices

But they only echo

They only echo

They only echo

Only echo

(We are not listening, we are on the streets)

(We are not listening, we are on the streets)
