Other Side lyrics
by Eric Anderson
There are years I can’t escape my mind
My body quits, I get the blues
And f*cking angry when love follows suit
And can’t see they’ve left me behind
But someday in a moment unacknowledged by the sprawl
My heart will beat so hard that it can break the terra cotta shell the beast has made
That keeps me lonesome and acting smart
So oh my my. I’ll meet you on the other side
And let’s suppose that someday happens pretty soon
And I can quiet every soft internal sotto voce monolog
That’s pulling me away from you
It still would not be wise to let you in
This peace is just a borrowed book that I have read but never understood
And it makes staying or leaving a sin
So oh my my, I’ll keep you on the other side
