Over the sea and far away 
She's waiting like an iceberg 
Waiting to change 
But she's cold inside 
She wants to be like the water 

All the muscles tighten in her face 
Buries her soul in one embrace 
They're one and the same 
Just like water 

And the fire fades away 
Most of everyday 
Is full of tired excuses 
But it's too hard to say 
I wish it were simple 
But we give up easily 
You're close enough to see that 

You're on the other side of the world to me 

On comes the panic light 
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike 
But the time has come 
To move along 

And the fire fades away 
Most of everyday 
Is full of tired excuses 
But it's too hard to say 
I wish it were simple 
But we give up easily 

You're close enough to see that 

You're on the other side of the world 

Can you help me 
Can you let me go 
And can you still love me 
When you can't see me anymore 

And the fire fades away 
Most of everyday 
Is full of tired excuses 
But it's too hard to say 
I wish it were simple 
But we give up easily 
You're close enough to see that 

You're on the other side of the world 

On the other side of the world 

You're on the other side of the world to me
