The Other Side
Charlie Major Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby look at me
I've been livin' in the dark so long
Hard to remember when it was the last time I saw some light
I've got a hungry heart
Its been starvin' for a love so long
Lookin' for someone who can fill this empty space in my life

[Chorus]
Baby there ain't nothin' but one & only
When you're standin' on the side of lonely
So would ya take that step?
With me, you cross that line tonight
And for a little while I could walk on the other side.

Baby look at you
You've been livin' in the past so long
Tryin' to hold onto a dream you know will never come true
You've got a hungry heart
Thats been achin' for a love so long
In need of someone who can loose these ties that are holding you

[Chorus]
Baby there ain't nothin' but one & only
When you're standin' on the side of lonely
So would ya take that step?
With me, you cross that line tonight
And for a little while you could walk on the other side

[Chorus]
Baby there ain't nothin' but one & only
When you're standin' on the side of lonely
So would ya take that step?
With me, you cross that line tonight
And for a little while we could walk on the other side





For a little while we could walk on the other side, ohh-right
