Half Life
Josh Clayton-Felt Lyrics

When I see someone like you
When I see someone like you, I feel lost and unsure about how to deal with my feelings towards you.

It leaves me so confused
The sight of you creates so much confusion within me that I am unable to process it.

I know you could run circles round the world
I am aware that you have the ability to achieve great things and succeed beyond our wildest imagination.

You broke along the way
At some point, you lost something or faced a tough situation that caused you to become broken and lose a part of yourself.

Got stuck here counting days
You are stuck in a rut, continuously counting the days without any progress or change in your life.

You just threw back the shell that had the pearl
You made a mistake and gave up something valuable or important, which could have been the key to your success and happiness.

Some days you wake up fast
There are days when you wake up suddenly, feeling energized and motivated to take on the day.

You got the strength at last
You have finally found the strength and courage to face your challenges and overcome your obstacles.

You say you'll never go that way again
You have learned from your mistakes and decided never to repeat them again.

You see yourself so clearly
You have gained a better understanding of who you are and what you want out of life.

You can't believe you nearly
You cannot fathom how close you were to giving up or losing yourself forever.

Waited your life just to reach the end
You have been waiting your entire life to find your purpose and reach your goals, but now you realize that the journey is more important than the destination.

But you, you know the feeling
You understand the feeling I am trying to convey because you have experienced it before.

'Cause you have had a bite
You have tasted success and know what it feels like to achieve your goals.

So aren't you tired of living
Don't you feel exhausted from living a life where you are not fulfilling your true potential?

In this half life
Living a life where you are not reaching your full potential is like living a half-life, incomplete and unfulfilling.

I watched you there day dreaming
I observed you lost in thought, imagining a life that you wish you were living.

And the man above you screaming
Someone above you is trying to hold you back or bring you down, even though you are trying to chase your dreams.

You remember when you lost your happiness
You recall a time when you were unhappy and felt like you had lost your way in life.

Somehow you're so inspired
Despite losing your happiness previously, you have found a source of inspiration and motivation to keep going.

It makes your eyes grow tired
The pursuit of your dreams can be tiring and take a toll on you, but you continue to push yourself forward.

And you go back to sleeping like the rest
Occasionally, you fall back into old habits and give up your pursuit of success because it seems too difficult to achieve.

You've got the best smile at the table
You are a pleasant and likable person, and your smile stands out in a crowd.

You want someone's attention
You are seeking the attention and approval of someone who you admire or respect.

But you can not imagine
Despite your hopes and desires, you cannot fathom that this person would ever pay attention to someone like you.

They'd ever give it to the likes of you
You believe that you are not worthy of this person's attention or love.

You walk away discouraged
Feeling defeated and disheartened, you give up on your hopes and dreams, and walk away from the situation.

Before you find the courage
You don't even try to muster the courage to ask for the person's attention or affection, because you don't believe in yourself enough.

You haven't even put on both your shoes
You are not yet fully prepared or equipped to face the challenge or opportunity before you.
