Half a World Away

He's right here but he wants space
Space within this place
She wants to touch but she's half a world away
Half a world away
How can we all just carry on
Haunted by what's not here, what's gone
Carried away by the dawn

Trapped within my own head
Spinning stories into thread
Searching for what's going on
Like why, to him and her
Have I been drawn
And why
Must things be the way they are
Like being inside a snow jar

He's right here but he wants space
Space within this place
She wants to touch but she's half a world away
Half a world away
How can we all just carry on
Haunted by what's not here, what's gone
Carried away by the dawn

She calls me goddess but I was his queen
Here or high upon a throne or somewhere in between
Waiting for what come
Pleasure or pain  or just going numb
And why does my heart ache so
Like a boat with no water to row

He's right here but he wants space
Space within this place
She wants to touch but she's half a world away
Half a world away
How can we all just carry on
Haunted by what's not here, what's gone
Carried away by the dawn

How can we all just just carry on
How can we run with the dawn
