The Other Side of the World

Lyrics

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 You 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 You know she held me like I could leave at any time And I could breathe into the wire And tell myself I'm free Then it turned under my feet And buildings and the trees left with the wind Left me standing in a dirty city street When I'm a stranger to everyone And everyone is a stranger to me If I could talk to you, darling I'd tell you all the things I never said Of how you hid those tears away from me like I couldn't hear For I loved you through this wilderness I loved you through the shit I loved you through the best times that there ever was From the other side of the world Then it turned under my feet And buildings and the trees left with the wind Left me standing Now I'm shouting at satellites I'm 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
