Arcade Fire – Half Light I Lyrics

You told us that
We were too young
Now that nights 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
Were free

Strange how the half light
Can make a place new
You cant recognize me
And I cant recognize you

We run through the streets
That we know so well
And the houses hide so much

Were 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
They say you hear human voices
But they only echo

They only echo
They only echo
Only echo

We are not listening, we are on the streets
We are not listening, we are on the streets
