about

Written in Canada while dating my wife.
Gemma had an almost daily ritual of bickering with her mother over the phone while I would be getting super ready. You could tell there was a draw to living back in Australia. After a snow day or a dip down into the -30's (or worse) I felt this pull get a little stronger....for both of us.

lyrics

Oh you're on the phone talkin with the folks back home
Do you moan and groan about the cold outside
Is it any wonder you are missing home there downunder
As a foot of pure white wonder rages on outside
And I know that you wanna go
But I just hoping that you'll stay another season
And the reasons me
I don't wanna be someone that you can't see
Really have to leave or maybe we just stay

Oh Oh Oh OH
Where you gonna go
Half A World Away
Ohh
Won't you take me
Won't you take me

Dates been set in stone
Packing up memories from home
Do we have to go or maybe we just stay
Cause I don't wanna be someone that you set free
I need you here by me and that's just for today
And I know that you gotta go
and I'm just hoping that you'll stay another season
And the reasons me

Oh Oh Oh OH
Where you gonna go
Half A World Away
Ohh
Won't you take me
Won't you take me

Won't you take me
As I am
Half a World Away
I don't wanna be something that you set free

And I know that you gotta go
and I'm just hoping that you'll stay another season
And the reasons me
I don't wanna be something that you set free
I need you here by me
That's just what I say

Oh Oh Oh OH
Where you gonna go
Half A World Away
Ohh
Won't you take me
Won't you take me
