I'm awake in the afternoon

I fell asleep in the living room
     
It's one of those moments
     C#m5             
When everything is so clear.



Before the truth goes back into hiding

I wanna decide 'cause it's worth deciding
              C#m5                     
To work on finding something more than this fear.

E|---x------x-------x------


               C#m5          
It takes so much out of me to pretend.
            C#m5           
Tell me now, tell me how to make amends.


Chorus:

Maybe, I need to see the daylight
                 
Leave behind this half-life
                   
Don't you see I'm breaking down.

Oh lately, something here don't feel right
              
this is just a half-life
                         /
Is there really no escape,
                          
No escape from time    of any kind?

Interlude: --




I keep trying to understand

This thing and that thing, my fellow man
                C#m5                  
I guess I'll let you know when i figure it out.



But I don't mind a few mysteries

They can stay that way it's fine by me
                C#m5          
But, you are another mystery i am missing.

                C#m5          
It takes too much out of me to pretend.

	(Repeat Chorus)

Come on lets fall in love, again...


                                   
'Cause lately something here don't feel right
             
This is just a half-life,
                  
Without you I am breaking down.

                             
Oh, wake me, let me see the daylight
                
Save me from this half-life
               /   
Let's you and I escape,
             
Escape from time...


                
Come on lets fall in love,
                
Come on lets fall in love,
                 
Come on lets fall in love, again...


EH, THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
