12 worlds apart

"12 Worlds Apart," is something I wrote in compostion/songwriting class one monday at tafe. Really just about miscommunication and the inability to be able to clearly express and reveal yourself to someone and the frustration and consequences that can come of it. I feel it's something most people can relate to. Basically just being in the same room as someone but feeling exactly that "12 worlds apart." Something/Someone, so close yet so far away.


12 worlds apart
how did it come to this?
They're standing in the same room,
yet they're 12 worlds apart.
How did they end up there?
He says if she doesn't stop then he'll leave.
12 worlds apart, and where to go from here?

she says she's not afraid of the climb!
That she's afraid of the fall;
because last time she almost lost it all.

He wants to see her everyday.
but she doesn't wanna be where he has been before.
Standing in the same room they are 12 worlds apart.

12 worlds apart in a land she can not stand.
she sees them everyday.
mind over matter, her head explodes.
they can not go on this way.
12 worlds apart;
It must come to an end.
12 worlds apart;
she wonders if her heart will ever mend!
Forever, 12 worlds apart.

  1. I like the lines

    she says she's not afraid of the climb!
    That she's afraid of the fall;

    Standing in the same room they are 12 worlds apart.

    I like the way you expressed the distant relationship being 12 worlds apart smart and a catchy title.
