Half-Awake

Half-Awake lyrics

Verse 1

Door cracks open slow
You see me in the frame
Bartender starts my drink
Before I say my name

Blue apron, red nails
Ice tinks in a glass
My coat smells like rain
I let the night pass

Neon menu glowing
Tab already drawn
I lean on the bar
My keys still in my palm

Pre-Chorus

You read my face too fast
Like you know the whole route
A little nod, a pour
Then the room falls out

Chorus

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
She starts my drink
When the door swings open

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Same small spark
And the whole bar knows it

Verse 2

From the pool table corner
I watch your hands work clean
Silver shaker flashing
Under the half-lit screen

Brown boots by the mat
My shirt cuff worn thin
Seven fifteen on the clock
And I come back in

You slide that glass my way
Like it never could wait
I laugh into the foam
And let the ice hit fate

Pre-Chorus

You read my face too fast
Like you know the whole route
A little nod, a pour
Then the room falls out

Chorus

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
She starts my drink
When the door swings open

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Same small spark
And the whole bar knows it

Bridge

What if I never learned
How to walk in light?
You'd still know the shape
Of me by sight

Chorus

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
She starts my drink
When the door swings open

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Same small spark
And the whole bar knows it
