Matthew Sweet Half Asleep Lyrics

Shut your eyes and you'll remember like the first time
What it meant to see
Take your time, any reason why you can't go on
Is fine with me

As long as we don't sit in silence
I don't want to see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be half asleep, half asleep

It takes a while, I'd give everything
I've got to know how many days
I don't accuse you 'cause any problem that there is
I put in my own way

But I don't want to sit in silence
I don't want to see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be half asleep, half asleep We always have to say we're sorry
But every time we say we're sorry
It's closer to the real thing

We stay here some
'Cause we aren't going to get much closer to a real answer
The sleeping cured you
Ya know, tomorrow we can waste the day and start another

As long as we don't sit in silence
I don't want to see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be half asleep, half asleep
I don't wanna sit in silence
I don't want see the whole thing wasted
As long as we have time to be half asleep, half asleep
