Half-Life Lyrics

Cover art for Half-Life lyrics by Duncan Sheik

I always thought it was about a guy and a girl who were good friends, and he's realizing that he's in love with her.

"findin' something more than this fear. It takes so much out of me to pretend" to me is saying that he's afraid of telling her how he feels, but it's taking a lot out of him to pretend he doesn't love her.

The "half life" is that he is spending his life in love with her and never telling her.

"come on let's fall in love" is pretty obvious

I don't know if that's right, but it's what I've always thought.
