The Opposite Side of the Sea - Oren Lavie

On the opposite side of the sea

The opposite side of the day

The colors are brighter and glee

The people unusually gray

On the opposite side of the sun

The ground is too hot to stand on

Too hot to stand on so they run

On the opposite side of the waves

The edge of a town to be saved

And quiet by night it’ll keep

For those who still dream there’s no sleep

On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her

But the waves will pull you under

On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her

But the waves will pull you under

On the opposite side of the wind

A woman is wearing it thin

The opposite side of her skin

On the opposite side of the blue

Some people are waving at you

They say it is love that they’ve got

You’re almost convinced but you’re not

On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her

But the waves will pull you under

On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her

But the waves will pull you under

Reach your hand out

Someone’ll take it

Strip you down and leave you naked

That’s what they do to strangers, you see…

That’s what they do to strangers, you see…

…On the opposite side of the sea
