Far Side of the World
Love Across Oceans: Embracing Distance in Far Side of the World
Lyrics
I fell in love with a girl on the far side of the world
Falling in love with a girl located far away geographically.
If I could fold the globe, our love would be more than just heard
Expressing a desire for a more tangible connection, suggesting the limitations of distance.
And I feel her smile as she talks, but it's not the same from an ocean away
Despite communication, the emotional connection is affected by the physical distance.
I fell in love with a girl on the far side of the world
Reiteration of falling in love with a distant girl, emphasizing the theme.
If I shut my eyes
Contemplating the possibility of the loved one appearing when eyes are closed.
Will you appear
Expressing the longing for the loved one to be present.
Cause I'm not me without you here
Feeling incomplete or not oneself without the presence of the loved one.
And is it fair
Raising a question about the fairness of the situation, possibly related to the challenges of distance in the relationship.
To let you know
Contemplating the dilemma of revealing the fear of losing the loved one.
That I'm afraid to let you go
Admitting the fear of letting go and the associated vulnerability.
I fell in love with a girl on the dark side of the moon
Falling in love with a girl metaphorically associated with the mysterious and distant "dark side of the moon."
When she steps out into the light she's gone too soon
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of the girl's presence when she steps into the light.
And as she shines and wanes, I watch her wave from the Milky Way
Observing the girl from a distant perspective, possibly metaphorical, like watching from the Milky Way.
I fell in love with a girl on the dark side of the moon
Reiteration of falling in love with a girl on the mysterious "dark side of the moon."
If I shut my eyes
Repeating the theme of hoping for the loved one's appearance by closing the eyes.
Will you appear
Emphasizing the emotional dependence on the presence of the loved one.
Cause I'm not me without you here
Expressing a sense of incompleteness without the loved one.
And is it fair
Repeating the question of fairness, suggesting internal conflict.
To let you know
Continuing the contemplation of revealing the fear of losing the loved one.
That I'm afraid to let you go
Reiterating the admission of fear and vulnerability in letting go.
If I shut my eyes
Continuing the hope for the loved one's presence by closing the eyes.
Will you appear
Stressing the importance of the loved one's appearance for the person's well-being.
Cause I can't be without you here
Expressing an inability to function without the presence of the loved one.
If I'm a fool
Possibly acknowledging the possibility of being perceived as a fool in the pursuit of love.
Then let me know
Openness to self-awareness and acknowledgment if perceived as a fool.
And I'll make peace with the unknown
Willingness to find peace with uncertainties and unknown outcomes in the pursuit of love.
I fell in love with a girl who lives inside my mind
Falling in love with a girl who exists in the mind, suggesting an internal, emotional connection.
And I go searching but she's right behind my eyes
Searching for the girl within, indicating introspection and self-discovery.
And when she steps in frame I reach out but she fades away
Experiencing the ephemeral nature of the internalized love, fading away when reaching out.
I fell in love with a girl who I may never find
Expressing the uncertainty and potential difficulty in finding the girl within.
