(Verse 1) The rain is drumming fingers on the window pane I’m brewing coffee just to numb the brain It’s 4 AM and the streetlights start to die The heavy gray is swallowing the sky. I’m wrapping up in blankets, fighting off the cold Reading stories that have all been told But in my head, I’m traveling the line Running past the border and the design. (Pre-Chorus) The map is flat but the world is round And gravity is holding me down But my mind is floating free… (Chorus) 'Cause on the other side of the world You’re walking out into the blinding white You’re shielding your eyes from the morning light While I’m surrendering to the night. Yeah, on the other side of the world The traffic is humming a different song You’re right where you belong And I’m just waiting for the earth to turn along. (Verse 2) I bet the air smells like dust and summer heat I bet there’s rhythm in the concrete of the street You’re buying lunch while I am losing sleep Secrets that the ocean tries to keep. Do you see the same moon, just at a different angle? Or are we caught up in a different tangle? My yesterday is your today, it seems You’re living out the ending of my dreams. (Chorus) 'Cause on the other side of the world You’re walking out into the blinding white You’re shielding your eyes from the morning light While I’m surrendering to the night. Yeah, on the other side of the world The traffic is humming a different song You’re right where you belong And I’m just waiting for the earth to turn along. (Bridge) Eight thousand miles of deep blue sea Is the only thing between you and me. And if I dug a hole through the soil and stone I’d fall right through the center, into the unknown Just to land beneath your feet Just to make the circle complete. (chinese violin Solo - Soaring and Melodic) (Chorus) 'Cause on the other side of the world You’re walking out into the blinding white You’re shielding your eyes from the morning light While I’m surrendering to the night. Yeah, on the other side of the world The traffic is humming a different song You’re right where you belong And I’m just waiting for the earth to turn along. (Outro) 12 hours ahead… 12 hours behind… You’re waking up, And I’m closing my eyes. (Fade out on a single chinese violin)
