Lyrics

And here's my stop

Expressing a desire to stop and get off, opting to walk instead.

Just drop me off and I'll walk

Preferring to walk after being dropped off.

The last few hours of night

Reflecting on the final hours of the night.

Missing secret things I had to leave behind

Feeling the absence of undisclosed things left behind, choosing a solitary journey to travel light.

To solo travel light

Emphasizing the decision to travel alone with minimal baggage.


I suppose we'll say start again where we left off

Contemplating starting anew from where the past was left off.

I can't see how

Expressing uncertainty about the possibility of restarting.

We can ask the past to take us back

Acknowledging the impossibility of revisiting the past, recognizing the irreversible distance.

But it won't, we're too far gone now

Realizing that it's too late to go back, acknowledging the irreparable separation.


Some other world, some other life

Referencing the possibility of an alternate world or life.

Some other place, some paradise

Imagining another place or a utopian existence.

My fortress made of paper walls

Describing personal vulnerabilities with metaphorical "paper walls" as a fortress.

And my defenses had to fall

Admitting a breakdown in defenses.


Some other world, some other life

(Repetition of earlier verses with minor variations)

Some other place, some paradise

-

Somehow the years drove us apart

-

I never could protect your heart

-

Some other world, some other life

-

Some other place, some paradise

-

My fortress made of paper walls

-

And my defenses had to fall

-

Some other world, some other life

-

Some other place, some paradise

-

Somehow the years drove us apart

-

I never could protect your heart

-

Every word I say sounds worlds away

-

From where on Earth you've gone

-

Our facade, it cracks like a plastic mask

-

When we talk of moving on

-

I suppose we'll say start again where we left off

-

I can't see when

-

We can ask the past to take us back

-

But it won't, I'm not that girl I was then

-

Some other time

-

Some other time

-

Some other world

-

Some other life

-

Some other world, some other life

-

Some other place, some paradise

-

My fortress made of paper walls

-

And my defenses had to fall

-

Some other world, some other life

-

Some other place, some paradise

-

Somehow the years drove us apart

-

I never could protect your heart

-

Heart, heart, heart

-

Some other world, some other life

-

Some other place, some paradise

-

My fortress made of paper walls

-

And my defenses had to fall

-

Some other world, some other life

-

Some other place, some paradise

-

Somehow the years drove us apart

-

I never could protect your heart
