The Other Side Of The World

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.
