Pour cold water on my head
And put me underneath the river
Put me underneath the bed
And anywhere I can deliver me from harm
Deliver me from these broken arms
This unwanted child
I loved you in the morning
I loved you still at night
But something was so different in the morning
In the half-life
Oh, in the half-light
The perfume hangs heavy in the air
It's mixed with smoke and music
Take away who covers up most of our flaws
I have my mind but can't use it
Lock the door
Deliver me from this broken night
This unwanted fire
I loved you in the morning
I loved you still at night
But something was so different in the morning
In the half-life
Oh, in the half-light
You're so young, how do you know
How to take this world and use it?
I just lie there watching it all
Before my time did I choose it
Yes you could be right
You might be right
In the half-light

All these politics like pick up sticks
You've made your mess now clean it Break for it all like you did before
You can escape if you really mean it
Oh my child
What happened to make you this way?
You see I never loved you in the morning
And there was nothing there at all by that night
But there's always something different every morning
Now I have loved
And I have light
