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 

Then the fire fades away 
But 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.... 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 

Then the fire fades away 
But 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.... 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

Then 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.... the other side of the world
Ohh.... the other side of the world
You're.... the other side of the world
To me.
