the other side of the world

i paint a picture
of you in my mind all the time
well i wish i was with ya
but we're stuck on opposite sides

whilst you're in the winter
i spend my summer alone
but we love each other
and that's all that we need to know

you sleep on the other side of the world
but then you tell me that you are my girl
and for a moment i'm stoned
on the thought that you're home
but you sleep on the other side of the world

i'll write a song
with you in my mind
every line
they'll sing along
but i'll still feel empty inside

whilst you're under darkness
i watch the sunrise alone
but we love each other
and that's all that we need to know

you sleep on the other side of the world
but then you tell me that you are my girl
and for a moment i'm stoned
on the thought that you're home
but you sleep on the other side of the world
