A World Away

So much time and so little has changed

I try to hard to be amazed

These pawns, these places and these scenes

But all in all, it’s just another in-between

No matter how I try to make it right

There’s just not enough salvation out here tonight

So come on, stand like a wilted flower

With your hands in your back pockets

With blood stained eyes

But right now is our defining hour

I swear these hearts never lied

I’ve plundered rainbows and voices that besiege

I swear that you always dangle out of reach

But I’m never gonna fall for that again

You open up the door and let me in

We fall but we falter and fade away

We’re just a few blocks but a world away

Guess we both, we should have known better

After all this time, to think that we could fly

We try so hard to put it all together

We both know it’s time to say goodbye

Call me from your castle

But I won’t be around

You can offer me your jewels

Offer me the crown

But this time it’s for real

It’s gotta be this way

You can keep my books and hats

I don’t want ‘em anyway

Temptation’s forbidden

It's a price that I can’t pay

We’re just a few blocks but a world away

But I’m never gonna fall for that again

You open up the door and let me in

We stumble on sentences that we should say

We’re just a few blocks but a world away

A world away

A world away
