Lyrics
Did you break
Reflecting on a potential emotional breakdown or separation
Does it hurt
Inquiring about the emotional pain or aftermath
Or does it feel like the worlds at your feet
Questioning if the person feels triumphant or overwhelmed
3 oceans to find what you need
Suggesting a vast journey or effort to fulfill one's needs
Oh but this love
Recalling a past love that was once sufficient
Was once enough
Expressing that the previous love might not be enough anymore
Do you find that I'm there in your dreams
Wondering if the person thinks about the speaker in their dreams
Is it life if its life without me
Questioning the meaning of life if it lacks the speaker's presence
'Cause I, I know who you are
Asserting knowledge of the person's identity
And I, know how you tear me apart
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the person's actions
So if it's done, and if it's over
Contemplating the end of the relationship and addressing someone else
I hope you told her
Hoping the person communicated the end to another involved party
But I hope that you're lost in the space that I leave
Expressing a desire for the person to feel the absence left by the speaker
If I look back, over my shoulder
Reflecting on the speaker's past, possibly a moment of vulnerability
I remember myself on my knees
Recalling a difficult time where the speaker felt emotionally defeated
So the place where I need you to be
Stating the desired location for the person in the speaker's life
Is on, the other side of the world
Emphasizing the person's ideal place, geographically distant
And that's close enough for me
Considering the other side of the world as close enough for connection
Is it new
Questioning if the current situation is different
Is it easy
Asking if the person finds the present easier or better
Is it better now that I'm gone
Wondering if life has improved for the person after the speaker's departure
Just a mistake that is distant and done
Describing the past as a mistake that is now distant and concluded
But I, I know who you are
Reiterating knowledge of the person's identity
Yea I, know how you tear me apart
Acknowledging the person's ability to emotionally affect the speaker
So if it's done, and if it's over
Repeating contemplation of the relationship's end and addressing someone else
I hope you told her
Hoping the person communicated the end to another involved party
But I hope that you're lost in the space that I leave
Desiring the person to feel the void left by the speaker
If I look back, over my shoulder
Reflecting on the speaker's past, possibly a moment of vulnerability
Well I remember myself on my knees
Recalling a difficult time where the speaker felt emotionally defeated
So the place where I need you to be
Stating the desired location for the person in the speaker's life
Is on, the other side of the world
Emphasizing the person's ideal place, geographically distant
And that's close enough for me
Considering the other side of the world as close enough for connection
Is on, the other side of the world
Stating the desired location for the person in the speaker's life
And that's close enough for me
Emphasizing the person's ideal place, geographically distant
