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
