Worlds Apart
Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

I hold you in my arms, that's when it starts
Our physical closeness is what ignites our emotional connection

I seek faith in your kiss, and comfort in your heart
I find reassurance and solace in the intimacy we share

I taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars
I acknowledge your past experiences and accept them as part of who you are

But when I look into your eyes, we stand worlds apart
Despite our connection, there are still aspects of our individual selves that keep us separated

Where the distant oceans sing, and rise to the plain
In far-off places, the overwhelming power and beauty of nature is celebrated

In this dry and troubled country, your beauty remains
Even in the midst of difficulty and adversity, your inner and outer beauty still shines through

Down from the mountain roads where the highway rolls to dark
From high, remote places to the darkest corners of society, we are still unable to fully bridge our differences

'Neath Allah's blessed rain, we remain worlds apart
Even under the blessings of a higher power, we are separated by our individual experiences and perspectives

Sometimes the truth just ain't enough
Sometimes what is factual or objectively true is not sufficient to overcome our differences

Or it's too much in times like this
In certain situations, the truth is too difficult or overwhelming to confront

Let's throw the truth away, we'll find it in this kiss
Instead of relying on factual information, we can seek understanding and closeness through physical intimacy

In your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts
We can come closer together by focusing on the sensations and emotions we share in this moment

May the living let us in, before the dead tear us apart
Let us find connection and understanding while we are still alive, before the forces of death and separation divide us forever

We'll let blood build a bridge, over mountains draped in stars
Our shared experiences and emotions can connect us across even the most difficult barriers

I'll meet you on the ridge, between these worlds apart
We can find a meeting point between our different worlds and experiences

We've got this moment now to live, then it's all just dust and dark
Our time together is fleeting, and we must cherish it while we still can

Let love give what it gives
We should not place expectations on love, but rather accept what it naturally provides

Let's let love give what it gives
We should allow our love to grow and evolve organically, without trying to force or control it

Let's let love give what it gives
We should trust in our love and let it guide us, rather than trying to impose our own desires or expectations

Let's let love give what it gives
Our love is a unique and powerful force that should be allowed to unfold naturally

Let's let love give what it gives
We can find fulfillment and connection by surrendering ourselves to the unpredictable and mysterious ways of love
