Half Light I — The Arcade Fire

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 the streets That we know so well And the houses hide so much We're 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)
