"Half Asleep" lyrics

"Half Asleep"

I put my gun down
You put yours down too
So many problems
We'll never solve them
Here at the bottom
Ain't it clear
I'm in love with you
You found a way out
Well, I woulda ran with you

I was your lover
Born undercover
We got so smothered
Being so close
Seemed to destroy us too

Emily
I'm looking at you like a movie scene
But ain't it like me to be half asleep
You're still in the dream
I'm having now
I know you have your doubts
Oh, Emily
It seems
That we were just kids without gravity
I mean
That I let it all get the best of me
Oh, Emily
What you doing now?
Everybody's out

If I put my guard down
Will you put yours down too?
We fall in the trenches
Build up the fences
You tell me when
You lose your defenses
Ain't it clear?
I'm still in love with you

Emily
I'm looking at you like a movie scene
But ain't it like me to be half asleep
You're still in the dream
I'm having now
I know you have your doubts
Oh, Emily
It seems
That we were just kids without gravity
I mean
That I let it all get the best of me
Oh, Emily
What you doing now?
Everybody's out

When I see you
Now I hear you
Outside nearly
Closer to me

Emily
I'm looking at you like a movie scene
But ain't it like me to be half asleep
You're still in the dream
I'm having now
