[Verse 1]
In my head there's a way to get higher
In my head there's a ladder, gonna climb it
And in my mind there's a way back, a way down
In my mind there's a way, just hasn't been found
[Chorus]
From here on out, nothing can ever be the same
From here on out, I'll always be a world away
[Verse 2]
In a burst of light, I take that leap
Dancing in your eyes, hangin' just out of reach
I touch the sky, but my feet don't leave the ground
I touch the sky and my head starts to pound
[Chorus]
From here on out, nothing can ever be the same
From here on out, I'll always be a world away
In other places you can't know
On an island in some black sand vertigo
[Bridge]
Oh, where is the future I see?
Oh, in the soles of your feet and the places they meet
[Chorus]
From here on out, nothing can ever be the same
From here on out, I'll always be a world away
From here on out, nothing can ever be the same
From here on out, I'll always be a world away
From here on out, nothing can ever be the same
From here on out, I'll always be a world away
In other places you can't know
On an island in some black sand vertigo
