Ben Folds - Half Asleep lyrics

Half asleep half a billboard, half a street
That's my window
All-in-all, if you wanna know half asleep

Old friends and strangers
They treat me like a little girl
Oh, but not you dear you were always here
Like back in the black and white spotlight
I'd smoke a pack down
And you were sittin pretty there
Just like you're doing now
Oh we were so in love or so they'd say
I coulda gone all the way
But like everything else i did it half way

Half asleep
That's where the dreams and demons meet
Say, stop the laughter
"Dim the roar this club's not funny anymore"
Friends used to say that to me (and)
Treat me like a little girl oh
But not you dear you were always here

Like back when we'd drift along out of sight
The band would play I would sing my heart out
For drunken crowds it didn't mean a thing
Oh, we were SO in love and oh
I'd loved you so
And it seemed like an hour ago

And when I'm down and out
I'd try to figure out
"What was it all about the
World that always stayed there?"
I'm wondering "oh, how"
I wanna take another breath

Half asleep la do da do do do do do
Oh, no, no, no

No keep talkin im still here
Don't let them take you away my dear
Someone said "He can't hear
You he's half asleep" have fun
