World Away Lyrics by Emery

Are You Listening?

2007

[Verse 1]
You want to see me disappear
Well, it starts here
I'm trying my best
Not to say what you don't want to hear
But it's all right
You can cover your, cover your ears

[Verse 2]
Face my fears
Just once a year
The feeling I get
When I want to return everything
That's in my life
I'll be busting at the seams

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a gamble either way
If you play your cards
It's another tidal wave
I'll be waiting with my eyes closed

[Chorus]
No, I don't want to be
The one who lives a lie
But never knew it
We're just a world away from where
I can feel like I've never felt before
So lock the door

[Verse 1]
You want to see me disappear
Well, it starts here
Trying my best
Just to say what you don't want to hear
But it's all right
You can cover your, cover your ears

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a gamble either way
If you play your cards
It's another tidal wave
I'll be waiting with my eyes closed

[Chorus]
No, I don't want to be
The one who lives a lie
But never knew it
Was just a world away from where
I can feel like I've never felt before
So lock the door
You're the one who told me
To pack up all my things
And leave in the morning
It's just a world away from here
And I will never bother you no more
And that's for sure

[Bridge]
Take me alive (you'll never, you'll never)
Take me alive (you'll never, you'll never)
Take me alive (you'll never, you'll never)
Take me alive

[Chorus]
No, I don't want to be
The one who lives a lie
But never knew it
Was just a world away from where
I can feel like I've never felt before
So lock the door
You're the one who told me
To pack up all my things
And leave in the morning
It's just a world away from here
And I will never bother you no more
And that's for sure
