Half Light I - Arcade Fire

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 these streets

That we know so well

And the houses hide so much

But 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

You say you hear human voices

But they’re only echoes

They’re only echoes

They’re only echoes

Only echoes

We are not asleep

We are in the streets

We are not asleep

We are in the streets

We are not asleep

We are in the streets
