Half a step down

Verse 1

There is a long forgotten voice,

I know it's not your voice,

 because it's always strained,

 I wake up hearing unfamiliar voices,

 convinced they're trying to explain,

 that if my words were clearer,

 then maybe I would know what I'm trying to say,

 just as those long forgotten voices,

disappear back into rain,

Bridge

 If I was born the same day that you die,

 should that make me try,

I was born the same day that you die,

 should that make me feel more alive,

Chorus

Not just sometimes but always,

 I know what I know,

 I know what I know,

 I know what I know,

Verse 2

I tune the radio,

 to drown out these voices I don't know,

and suddenly an empty house,

 it almost fills up with hope,

there are days and nights when,

 I don't need to close my eyes,

 and they feel as real to me,

 like an elegy in the skies,

Bridge

 If I was born the same day that you die,

 should that make me try,

I was born the same day that you die,

 should that make me feel more alive,

Chorus

Not just sometimes but always,

 I know what I know,

 I know what I know,

 I know what I know,

Not just sometimes but always,

 I know what I know,

 I know what I know,

 I know what I know,
