Lyrics

Half the World

Watch the moment as it fades And tell yourself it ain't like dying Have you got something for the taste? Because the chemicals are kicking in So bring the morning if it comes For I have given up on timing And you know I couldn't say it But I was hoping I would drown (Drown) I was hoping I would drown (Drown) Half the world is keeping me apart I know A symphony to keep you in the dark I know Now, I've been moving oceans in your sleep And yet, my giving in is giving in I left a note for you to read to try to take it back But I was hoping I would drown (Drown) Oh, I was hoping I would drown (Drown) 'Cause half the world is keeping me apart I know A symphony to keep you in the dark I know As we fade Never knowing if we'll dream about it And as we fall Hoping we had said enough to begin We are the same All alone we'll face our doubts in the end But keep your hands upon the wheel Darling, I'm afraid Be yourself, when you're full of doubt Hold on to the reins Be yourself, and when it's falling down Listen to the rain Be yourself, when you're calling out Know that we're the same So keep your hands upon the wheel, oh Darling, I'm afraid Be yourself, when you're full of doubt Hold on to the reins Be yourself, and when it's falling down Listen to the rain Be yourself, when you're calling out Know that we're the same So keep your hands upon the wheel, oh Darling, I'm afraid Be yourself, when you're full of doubt Hold on to the reins Be yourself, and when it's falling down Listen to the rain Be yourself, when you're calling out Know that we're the same So keep your hands upon the wheel, oh, love Be yourself when you're full of doubt (Whoa) Be yourself, and when it's falling down (Ooh) Be yourself when you're calling out So keep your hands upon the wheel Well, darling, I'm afraid Be yourself, when you're full of doubt Hold on to the reins Be yourself, and when it's falling down Listen to the rain Be yourself, when you're calling out Know that we're the same So keep your hands upon the wheel, oh Darling, I'm afraid Be yourself, when you're full of doubt Hold on to the reins Be yourself, and when it's falling down Listen to the rain Be yourself, when you're calling out Know that we're the same So keep your hands upon the wheel, oh Darling, I'm afraid Be yourself, when you're full of doubt Hold on to the reins Be yourself, and when it's falling down Listen to the rain Be yourself when you're calling out Know that we're the same So keep your hands upon the wheel, oh Darling, I'm afraid Be yourself, when you're full of doubt Hold on to the reins Be yourself, and when it's falling down Listen to the rain Be yourself, when you're calling out Know that we're the same So keep your hands upon the wheel, oh

From Dork

Arcane Roots on Dork

Arcane Roots return with intent (and a bigger line-up)

Arcane Roots are back as a five-piece, armed with new single 'A Wave, Across The Sea' and festival slots at 2000trees and ArcTanGent. From Iceland studios to “beauty and chaos”, Andrew Groves and Daryl Atkins unpack how time away sharpened the band’s ambition.
