Arcade Fire - Half Light I lyrics

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
