Half a World Away Songtext
von The Collins

Yeah I′m back, stopping by a last time
To clean my decency, to start anew again
Hey for a change, you're gone
But you′re probably half a world away
I guess it's easy for me to choose a life now
Just looking back shows I never had one
I've only got me to blame
′Cause you were always half a world away
While you were sleeping
I should have been out with the friends of mine
But I guess it wasn′t easy
Or I just didn't have, didn′t have the nerve

And when I'm sleeping
She′s trying to force me down so I can't breathe
And when she′s sleeping
I'll hold my arms


And I'll run from uncertainty, escape from the hurt
And I′ll sting if you′re close to me, unlike you've been before
And I′ll stop if you threaten me, I'll shut you out from day
And I′ll never look back on you 'til I′m half the world away

Must be nice being everybody's loved one
Be the name on every cheap tongue
Or just another girl on the street
I think you're lost
Between here and half a world away

And when I′m sleeping
She′s trying to force me down so I can't breathe
And when she′s sleeping
I'll hold my arms

And I′ll run from uncertainty, escape from the hurt
And I'll sting if you′re close to me, unlike you've been before
And I'll stop if you threaten me, I′ll shut you out from day
And I′ll never look back on you 'til I′m half the world away

Yeah I'm glad, just being here one last time
To clear the memories, to start anew again
Hey for a change I smile, knowing that you′re half a world away
