Intro
Verse
over the sea and far away
she's waiting like an iceberg
waiting to change
but she's cold inside
she wants to be like the water
all the muscles tighten in her face
buries her soul in one embrace
they're one and the same
just like the water
Chorus
the fire fades away
most of every day
[G/f#]
is full of tired excuses
but it's too hard to say
i wish it was simple
but we give up easily
[G/f#]
you're close enough to see that
you're the other side of the world to me
Verse
on comes the panic light
holding on with fingers and feelings alike
but the time has come
to move along
Chorus
the fire fades away
most of every day
[G/f#]
is full of tired excuses
but it's too hard to say
i wish it was simple
but we give up easily
[G/f#]
you're close enough to see that
you're the other side of the world to me
can you help me
can you let me go
and can you still love me
[G/f#]
when you can't see me anymore
