You don't have to be Superman You don't have to hold the world in your hands You've already shown me that you can Don't have to be Superman If I could break away half of all your pain I'd take the worst of it and carry you like you carry me You say that

The medicine you crave is overrated Throw it away, throw it away, your world's in disarray Carried away, carried away, oh what a mess you've made Throw it away, throw it away Glass half-empty, fingers numb and cold Nothing's easy when you've lost control

I can feel the warning signs running around my mind I don't feel down 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 Half the world away, half the world away Half the world away I've been

To go it alone And hold it along Haul it along And hold it Turn to a miracle My mind is racing As it always will This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen

It's just a half a mile away Oh, my other world is just a half a mile away I've given everybody so much time Now I need a moment that's mine Little Geo is a friend of mine We get some money and we buy a cheap wine Sit on the corner and have a holiday
