Story Behind The Song

Just a song about perceptions.

Lyrics

Other Side of the World

I?m waiting, I?m waiting
For something that?s taking too long
I?m hoping, I?m hoping
That someone has not steered me wrong
There?s something to be said for the feeling of trust
You had when you were just two years old
There?s something to be said for being in lust
Instead of all the trappings of love that we?re sold
Every now and then through the weakest of eyes
I see something that makes my hair curl
I look for a moment and then realize
On the other side of the world

It?s easy, it?s easy
For people like us to believe
That jokers and fakers
Are not hiding cards up their sleeves
There?s something to be said for just having it all
And never needing anything else
There?s something to be said for taking the fall
And piling all the ashes of guilt on yourself
Every now and then that?s just what I do
I take back all the insults I?ve hurled
And over your shoulder I?m seeing the view
From the other side of the world

It?s over, it?s over
That?s all that I wanted to say
It?s never been easy
To justify having to stay
There?s something to be said for just saying goodbye
Without the need for words of complaint
There?s something to be said for not having to try
To be what you perceive to be some kind of saint
Every now and then though it?s hard to believe
I?m not the only flag that?s been furled
Everyone?s wearing their heart on their sleeve
On the other side of the world

Everyone?s wearing their heart on their sleeve
On the other side of the world

On the other side of the world
The other side of the world
Everyone?s wearing etc
....and fade
