[Intro] [Fast pulsing synth] [Driving bass] [Bright electronic drums] [Clean guitar riff] [Verse 1] The suitcase is waiting beside the door The room looks smaller than it did before You say that everything will be all right But neither one of us believes it tonight The ship leaves early with the morning tide You'll watch me go, I'll stand there by your side I want to tell you I will never change But neither of us knows what distance means [Pre-Chorus] There are words we haven't said There are things we can't explain Maybe leaving is the hardest part Maybe coming back will be the same [Chorus] Across the water, across the sea There's a whole new world in front of me But every mile that takes me away Won't take your memory away Across the water, under another sky I'll think of you when the daylight dies I don't know where this road will end But I won't forget where it began [Verse 2] The harbour lights are fading from my view The morning wind is carrying me from you I see the coastline getting smaller now And wonder when, or if, I'll see it again somehow I keep your letter folded in my coat A few simple words that keep me close to home You didn't promise that you'd wait for me You only said, "Come back if you still want to see" [Pre-Chorus] There are miles between us now There are days we cannot share But some things don't disappear Just because they're no longer there [Chorus] Across the water, across the sea There's a whole new world in front of me But every mile that takes me away Won't take your memory away Across the water, under another sky I'll think of you when the daylight dies I don't know where this road will end But I won't forget where it began [Instrumental Break] [Driving synthesizer lead] [Melodic bass] [Clean electric guitar] [Bright backing harmonies] [Bridge] Maybe I'll find a different life Maybe you'll find somebody new Maybe years from now we'll laugh At how afraid we were to lose Maybe the distance will make us strong Maybe it will show us we were wrong But tonight I don't need to know I only need to watch the shoreline go [Breakdown] [Drums reduced] [Soft synth chords] [Close female vocal] If you can see the same moon Wherever you may be Then we're not as far apart As it feels to me [Final Chorus] [Full arrangement] [Stronger doubled lead vocal] Across the water, across the sea There's a whole new world in front of me But every mile that takes me away Won't take your memory away Across the water, under another sky I'll think of you when the daylight dies I don't know where this road will end But I won't forget where it began [Final Chorus] [Higher harmony] Across the water, across the sea Some part of you is coming with me And if our paths should meet again We'll know where this story began [Outro] [Fast synth motif gradually opening] Across the water... Across the sea... [Soft female vocal] Maybe you'll be waiting... Maybe you'll be free... [Instrumental Outro] [Extended synth and guitar ending]
