Half Asleep
Drifting in and out, half asleep but still awake.
The thought of you and me is causing an earthquake.
I never wanted something to be more real
I want it so bad that I’m scared of how I feel
This thing we have is an improbable romance
But it doesn’t stop me from wanting to take the chance
I’ve been told to ask if the juice is worth the squeeze.
Well I hope you see that I believe this is more than a simple sneeze
If shooting stars are what we have between the two of us
Then let’s ride the tail of the longest one while we lust
Maybe near the end when it seems to be fading away
Things will start to change like night to day
Gambling is a weakness of hoping on things we can’t control
I’m going to place a bet on you and wager my soul
I want to win this one bad cuz my life is at stake
I’m reaching out into a hole I can’t see in
I’m standing on faith so I’m not caught by sin
I’m all out of options waiting on life to cast its shadow
I have a lump in my throat I can’t seem to swallow
You see that I’m scared and you hesitate
Then you grabbed my hand and said yes to a date.
