Half The World Away
Oasis Lyrics

Yeah, we're on
I am in the present moment and ready to move forward.

I would like to leave this city
I wish to leave this city and find a new place to call my own.

This old town don't smell too pretty
This city has lost its luster and is not as appealing as it once was.

And I can feel the warnin' signs
I am aware of the signs that indicate I should leave this place.

Runnin' around my mind
These thoughts are constantly present in my mind.

And when I leave this island
When I finally leave this place.

I'll book myself into a soul asylum
I will take the time to heal my soul and find peace again.

'Cause I can feel the warnin' signs
I know that it is time to leave and find a new place to call home.

So here I go
I am ready to take the next step in my life.

I'm still scratchin' around in the same old hole
I am still stuck in the same old routine.

My body feels young but my mind is very old
I still have energy, but my mind is worn out from being in the same place for too long.

So what do you say?
What is your response to my desire to leave this place?

You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
No one can give me the dreams that I have for myself.

You're half the world away
You are too far away from me to understand my desires.

I've been lost, I've been found
I have experienced highs and lows in life, but I'm still searching for something new.

But I don't feel down
Despite the uncertainty, I am not discouraged.

And when I leave this planet
When I eventually pass on from this life.

You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it
If staying were an option, I would, but I cannot continue living in this way.

And I can feel the warnin' signs
The urgency to leave is mounting.

Runnin' around my mind
My mind is focused on the need for a change.

And if I could leave this spirit
If I could escape the cycle of life and death.

I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it
I would find a place to call my own and be content with what I have.

Here I go
Once again, I am ready to take the next step in my life.

I'm still scratchin' around in the same old hole
I am still searching for a new path to follow.

My body feels young but my mind is very old
The need for change is still present, despite my physical health.

So what do you say?
What is your response to my desire to leave this place?

You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
No one can give me the dreams that I have for myself.

You're half the world away
Your understanding and perspective are too far removed from my own.

I've been lost, I've been found
I have experienced highs and lows in life, but I'm still searching for something new.

But I don't feel down
Despite the uncertainty, I am not discouraged.

No, I don't feel down
I remain optimistic despite the challenges ahead.

No, I don't feel down
Once again, I reinforce my positive outlook.

Don't feel down
It is important to remain positive even in the face of difficulty.

I don't feel down
I refuse to let my circumstances bring me down.
