She does love him but as a brother, not a lover. Ron has never really been her type, he asked her out and she only said yes to avoid the silent treatment and the arguments. She doesn't love him, she loves someone else, someone she shouldn't love.
Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water
She wants him, cool as ice, heart of ice, body like water, pale and simple. She's imagined holding him so many times, so many times.
All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water
She couldn't ever though, her friends, her allies would hate her.
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world to me
She always thought of him as the ideal guy, that is why no guy measures up to her standards, he is her standard, grey eyed, blonde haired, pale skinned perfection.
On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along
She has to tell him, she has to dump Ron, she can't do this to him anymore.
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world
Her and her friends have been drifting apart since she dumped Ron, she didn't care, if they were all going to take Ron's side then she had to find someone who would take hers. Ron says he still loves her and he would take her back, she doesn't want him.
Can you help me?
Can you let me go?
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore?
She left everything she knew and loved chasing a ghost, a devil.
The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world
She finds him and he's changed, he holds her close and kisses her passionately, and now that she knows she's home she stops worrying about Ron.
The otherside of the world
She doesn't ever want to go back.
You're the otherside of the world to me...
