In Another World (You Would’ve Found Yourself by Now)
You're looking so pleased with yourself
I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face
Petty crimes in your leisure time
You struggled to break out
Wash away on your cheap mistakes
Your abstinence; your drought
In another world you would've found me by now
But you'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river
Come over here, my dear
I need to have a little word in your ear
You're your mother's girl
And you should know that by now
All the other girls live their lives
Without self-doubt
In another world you would've found me by now
But you'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river
I've been hiding from you
Though we inhabit the same room
I've been shying from you
Though we're under the same roof
You're looking so pleased with yourself
I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face
In another world you would've found me by now
But you'll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river
In another world you would've found yourself by now
If you weren't so proud I would have given up by now
With another girl I'd be floundering by now
In another world
