Keep it covered
I need you to run to me
Run to me lover
Where is this love
Keep it covered
I need you to run to me
Run to me lover
Whose to say what I need to let Go of
It was the last straw maybe it’s Something I won’t suck up
Question if I’m too stuck in the Past or our future has me get Most stuck
Even when both come up
Knowing it’ll be televised
Like the remote does
Nevertheless you said so what
Waist deep in the game like Peter Dinklage role was
Don’t get short with me knowing There’s things we don’t discuss
I know you relate as true Religions
Went missing then showed up
It’s hard to know who wore the Pants
Good as you looked with them Off
Getting lucky with that ass to Having them pulled up with Almost no luck
Trying to fit in jeans this much Larger then most run
This sort of struggles hard to Uphold
Even belts don’t much
Hold up
Things register so different Wonder how hard change really Is to get hold of
Ya
Things weren’t sudden yet Looking back
Out of Pitch black things felt so Rushed
Where you stole us
They didn’t buy in but you sold Us
So ya people especially hated to See home runs
Cover the bases cover the Mistaken with the bias coverage Told us
On the bright side you have the Chance to show us
How to overcome
Insecurities when theres no trust
Red rover
Red rover
You find me touching that’s what You left over
But me under you I feel I’ll never Get over
Remember the moon when you Slept over
I guess you can’t afford the nights You once spent over
Maybe you’re not a morning Person knowing how there was Condolences girl
Sick of the dog years that feel like They represent most of us
Put the peace down been too Many forever young and not Men grown up
Put the peace down let’s make it Thru to other side as people
They didn’t expect go there
Until then put all your emotions In a text and have it sent over
Red rover red rover
And have it sent over red rover Red rover
Where is this love keep it Covered
I need you to run to me
Run to me lover
How do we spend life like the Money you won’t touch
Don’t this touch enough so it’s Like you won’t must
But still I don’t wanna break Down again unless it’s yo love
Pulling it together like tow Trucks
We took it further than most Come
Maybe I held you back too long And that’s what had us broke up
Don’t think I’m here to fight Because I show some
Don’t mean for you to be choked Up it’s not just how I show love
Took my breath away by feelings We couldn’t get control of
We couldn’t help it like when Help shows up
And Feeling help won’t come
Make amends before and after We woke up
Hoping until then this enough to Have ya held over
Tagging you might be out the Picture
I just wanna get to know ya
Working with negatives meant Exposure
My talk shows coming correct Like Oprah
Briefly touch points we need to Address fuller
Hard to employ optimism when Hope hurts
You say grow up I feel I don’t Have much time to get older
Yet the other side has me playing Hard to get eh and harder to get Over
Has me playing hard to get eh And harder to get over
Red rover red rover
You find me touching that’s what You left over
But me under you I feel I’ll never Get over
Remember the moon when you Slept over
I guess you can’t afford the nights You once spent over
Maybe you’re not a morning Person
Knowing how there was Condolences girl
Sick of the dog years that feel like They represent most of us
Put the peace down been too Many forever young and not Men grown up
Put the peace down let’s make it Thru to other side as people
They didn’t expect go there
Until then put all your emotions In a text and have it sent over
Red rover red rover
Where is this love
Keep it covered
I need you to run to me
Run to me lover
Where is this love
Keep it covered
I need you to run to me
Run to me lover
Where is this love
Keep it covered
I need you to run to me
Run to me lover
, the lyrics of the (hed) p.e. song "Other Side" convey a theme of searching, discovery, and self-discovery. The song opens in Mexico, where the singer, who has forgotten the reasons for his journey, flees to Northern California. Despite this change of location, he remains the same, having neglected to change his name. However, he believes that his life will take a different direction when he eventually arrives in New York City, thousands of miles away. He finds solace in music and singing, as expressed in the lines, "Ten thousand miles and running/All these songs will remain the same".
The chorus continues to emphasize the idea of waiting for something better, "Wanting for the other side", which is presumably a place or a state of mind. The singer intensely questions his existence and the purpose of his life, which is something shared by many people. The answers to his questions are never clear, but he is determined to keep looking until he can find them. The lyrics, "I've got to outrun these shadows/ Feel the sun on my face again my friend", reveal the desire to escape, to escape darkness and find light.
