lyrics

Half Alive - The Little Unsaid

On my dime a dozen mornings
You can smell the sweet salt rain
And the bitterness that rots beneath the land
It’s a long line of raw deals, honey
In this crooked game
I’m just sorry it was me that
Dealt your hand

One or two white lies
And then God’s honest truth
I was only half alive
Without you

In my dime a dozen daydreams
I am running hard and wild
Where the sky is held up
By the snowy pines
I’m not running for my future
I’m just running for my life
And to fall across that
Golden state line

One or two white lies
And then God’s honest truth
I was only half alive
Without you

On my dime a dozen death bed
I will dream up gentle hands
That tried to wring some goodness
From these bones
If you can’t outrun your history
You don’t stand a goddamn chance
And in my dreams
I’m always running home

Time can tell no lies
And my time’s coming soon
I was only half alive
I was never really alive
I was only half alive
Without you
