On the other side of the world is an island
|
The shape of a woman
|
And I know this place
|
From there, there is no escape
|
|
Y'know she held me
|
Not too tight for she would break me
|
Not too loose for I would slip away
|
To the other side of the world
|
Y'know she held me
|
Like I could leave at any time
|
And I could breathe into the wire
|
And tell myself I'm free
|
|
When it turned under my feet
|
And buildings and the trees left with the wind
|
Left me standing
|
In a dirty city street, where I'm a stranger to everyone
|
And everyone is a stranger to me
|
|
If I could talk to you darlin'
|
I'd tell you all the things I could never say
|
Like I couldn't hear
|
For I love you through this wilderness
|
I'll love you through the shit
|
I loved you through the best times that there ever was
|
From the other side of the world.
|
|
When it turned under my feet
|
And buildings and the trees left with the wind
|
Left me standing
|
Now I'm shouting at satellites
|
Screaming down the wires
|
To find you
|
|
On the other side of the world is an island
|
The shape of a woman
|
And I know this place
|
I know this place.
