Ben Harper
Half Alive
Head back, tilt chin
Sharp teeth, soft skin
Breathe in, eyes closed
Breathe out, breathe in

Hands clenched, cold nights, bright eyes
Thin sheets, breathe me, switch sides

Head back, tilt chin
Sharp teeth, soft skin
Breathe in, eyes closed
Breathe out, breathe in

Hands clenched, cold nights, bright eyes
Thin sheets, breathe me, switch sides

I wrote a letter to the Lord
Asked for a girl, I could not ignore
I wrote a letter to the sea
Asked for a love, with teeth to capture me

I can’t hear you breathe and not
Need to make you breathe a little harder
I can’t, can’t feel your heartbeat and not
Need to make it beat a little faster
I can’t, I can't hear you breathe and not
Need to make you breathe a little harder
I can’t, can’t feel your heartbeat and not
Need to make it beat a little faster
I can’t, I can't hear you breathe
I can’t even hear you breathe
Head back, tilt chin
Sharp teeth, soft skin
Breathe in, eyes closed
Breathe out, breathe in

Hands clenched, cold nights, bright eyes
Thin sheets, breathe me, switch sides

Head back, tilt chin
Sharp teeth, soft skin
Breathe in, eyes closed
Breathe out, breathe in

Hands clenched, cold nights, bright eyes
Thin sheets, breathe me, switch sides

I can’t hear you breathe and not
Need to make you breathe a little harder
I can’t, can’t feel your heartbeat and not
Need to make it beat a little faster
I can’t, I can't hear you breathe and not
Need to make you breathe a little harder
I can’t, can’t feel your heartbeat and not
Need to make it beat a little faster
I can’t, I can't even hear you breathe
I can’t even hear you breathe
I can’t even hear you breathe
I can’t even hear you breathe
I was only half alive, I was only half alive
I was half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, I was
I was only half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, I was
I was only half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, oh Lord
I was half alive

I was only half alive, I was only half alive
I was half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, I was
I was only half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, I was
I was only half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, oh Lord
I was half alive

I was only half alive, I was only half alive
I was half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, I was
I was only half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, I was
I was only half alive before I loved you
I was only half alive, oh Lord
I was half alive
Oh
