Arcade Fire — Half Light I

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] 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
