On the other side of the world
There′s 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 the 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, 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 them
For I loved you through this wilderness
I loved you through the shit
I loved you through the best times
I did, everyone
From the other side of the world
Then it turned under my feet
And the 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
The other side of the world
There's an island the shape of a woman
And I know this place
I know this place
