lyrics

They said the glass is half full, well I'm half awake
I guess you know the rules - it's all give and take
These days

Well I've been up at night walkin' 'round town
They're still fixing it up; it keeps falling down
Again

Everything gets just a little bit faster
They're putting up a lot of good questions to answer

And it's only half-past eleven
We've still got a lot of good answers to question


And I've been up at night, walkin' 'round town
Theyy keep fixing it up, it's still falling down
They seem to think we should be afraid
But I've weighted it up and I think I'll be okay

At least it seems that we're still free
So come on, tell me, what'll it be?
Before I wake from this lucid dream
Just like the other cliché things
And nevermore will I believe
That everyone says anything they mean


Light a candle, maybe love will light my way
Something exceptional on an otherwise ordinary day

And as the sky turns shades of grey
They tell their tales but I'm not sure what to say
It always seems to be the same

But don't think that I know
I've already been proved wrong although

Don't tell me you know the song
At least ninety-eight percent of us are wrong

Don't know if what I see is true
It lacks verisimilitude
But trust in me, I'll trust in you
I trust in serendipity
And there are subtle signs to see
But tell me, won't you tell me
What they mean?
