Arcade Fire - Half Light I

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 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 They 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
