Half the World Away Lyrics
[Spoken Intro]
Yeah, we're on, haha
[Verse 1]
I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs
Running around my mind
And when I leave this island
I'll book myself into a soul asylum
'Cause I can feel the warning signs
Running around my mind
[Chorus]
So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
[Post-Chorus]
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down
[Verse 2]
And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs
Running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit
I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it and
I can feel the warning signs
Running around my mind
[Chorus]
Here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
[Post-Chorus]
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down
[Outro]
No, I don't feel down
No, I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
Don't feel down
I don't feel down

What did Oasis say about "Half the World Away"?
Noel Gallagher on the song (2006):
It’s quite a melancholic song about leaving. All those songs around the Definitely Maybe time were about leaving somewhere and arriving somewhere else. It kind of documents that period. I guess subconsciously we always knew we were never gonna stay in Manchester.
