...I wish it were simple...

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 fingersand 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.
