Half the World - Arcane Roots

Watch the moment as it fades

And tell yourself it ain’t like dying

Have you got something for the taste?

Because the chemicals are kicking in

So bring the morning if it comes

For I have given up on timing

And you know I couldn’t say it

But I was hoping I would drown

I was hoping I would drown

Half the world is keeping me apart

I know

A symphony to keep you in the dark

Enough

Now I’ve been moving oceans in your sleep

And yet my giving in, is giving in

And I left a note for you to read

To try to take it back

But I was hoping I would drown

Half the world is keeping me apart

I know

A symphony to keep you in the dark

Enough

As we fade

Never knowing if we’ll dream about it

And as we fall

Hoping we had said enough to begin

We are the same

All alone we’ll face our doubts in the end

But keep your hands upon the wheel

Darling, I’m afraid

(Be yourself, when you’re full of doubt)

Hold on to the reins

(Be yourself, and when it’s falling down)

Listen to the rain

(Be yourself, when you’re calling out)

Know that we’re the same

So keep your hands upon the wheel
