Watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean
Take a picture to show to everyone back home
It’s hard to point to what’s the matter
With heaven reflected in that water

Climb the mountain, see all the lights shining below
Walk the city ‘til it gets dark and gets too cold
Look for someplace warm and cozy
It’s all unfamiliar territory

Standing on the other side of the world
It almost feels like home
Standing on the other side of the world
If only I weren’t here alone

Drive the highway, get lost in a small town
Spend the morning going where nobody’s around
Stop to wonder what is missing
The only problem is all that distance

It’s surprising when you find
That the one you miss the most
Is someone that you shouldn’t

Watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean
Turn your back and turn the key in the ignition
Head back where you thought you knew the score
But it’s all unfamiliar territory
