Carter and the rest of the Backstreet Boys released a new album, In A World Like this, which included Kevin Richardson for the first time in six years.
Great Divide
Nick Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're going to sleep
And I wonder are you thing of me? I'm getting ready for another day without you
And you're just started to dream
It's hard to it let go
To make it through the day
It's hard to hold on
When we're both fare away
And get on with our lives
But how can we survive
(but how can we survive)
When our hearts are so connected
They will die when you take them apart
And when one half of me is missing
If I can hold you here in my arms
Can we over come the distance
Make it through the time
Can our love raise the water
Overcome the great, the great divide, divide, divide,
I'm soaking up the sun
You're underneath the moon
And I wish I could share it with you
You living your life
I'm living mine
Somehow we've got to find a way through
It's hard to it let go
To make it through the day
It's hard to hold on
When we're both fare away
Maybe we should just move on
And get on with our lives
But how can we survive
(but how can we survive)
When our hearts are so connected
They will die when you take them apart
And when one half of me is missing
If I can hold you here in my arms
Can we overcome the distance
Make it through the time
Can our love raise the water
Overcome the great, the great divide, divide, divide,
I keep waiting for the day
When we find a place to stay
And when we will always wake up together
(always will be)
And I keep waiting for the time
Every single night belongs to me and you
And we will never have to move again
We can spread our root and grow
(woah)
'Cause our hearts are so connected
They will die when you take them apart
And when one half of me is missing
If I can hold you here in my arms
Can we overcome the distance
Make it through the time
Can our love raise the water
Overcome the great, the great divide, divide, divide

I'm waking up
I am starting my day
You're going to sleep
You are ending your day
And I wonder are you thing of me?
I am curious if you are thinking about me
I'm getting ready for another day without you
I am preparing for another day without you
And you're just started to dream
You are just beginning to fall asleep and dream
It's hard to it let go
It is difficult to move on
To make it through the day
To get through the day without you
It's hard to hold on
It is difficult to continue holding on to the hope of us being together
When we're both fare away
When we are both far apart from each other
Maybe we should just move on
Perhaps it is best if we move forward separately
And get on with our lives
And continue living our separate lives
But how can we survive
But how can we possibly make it work
(but how can we survive)
Questioning how we can make it work
When our hearts are so connected
When we have such a strong emotional attachment
They will die when you take them apart
Our hearts will suffer if we separate
And when one half of me is missing
And when you are not with me
If I can hold you here in my arms
If I could physically embrace you
Can we over come the distance
Can we overcome the distance between us
Make it through the time
Survive the period of being apart
Can our love raise the water
Can our love be strong enough
Overcome the great, the great divide, divide, divide
To overcome the distance between us
I'm soaking up the sun
I am enjoying the sunlight
You're underneath the moon
You are in the moonlight
And I wish I could share it with you
And I would like to share this moment with you
You living your life
You are living your life
I'm living mine
I am living my life
Somehow we've got to find a way through
We need to find a way to make this work
I keep waiting for the day
I am waiting for the day
When we find a place to stay
When we can live together
And when we will always wake up together
And when we can wake up next to each other every day
(always will be)
Forever and always
And I keep waiting for the time
And I am waiting for the right moment
Every single night belongs to me and you
Every night is special and belongs to us
And we will never have to move again
And we will never have to leave each other again
We can spread our root and grow
We can build a life and grow together
(woah)
