See My Side
Jordin Sparks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find the words to make sense of how we behave
This might take a while, so please just hear me out
You know how things can get crazy when we go ablaze
We just get carried away
Believe me, I know
Don't even say a word, now please just hear me out
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
Sometimes the stunts that we pull don't even make sense
But I was never the one to feel the resent
This ain't 'bout who's to blame, so please just hear me out
When the scene gets intense, it's hard to prevent
From going all crazy again
Believe me, I know
Don't even say a word, now please just hear me out
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
We'll get right back
On the right track
We'll get right back on
We'll get right back on
On the right track
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better
See my side
And I'll see yours better
Love me back
And I'll love you better

This is my favorite track on her album. It is perfectly produced by Bloodshy and Avant. This is a very unique song from these RED HOT producers. I think of it as a futuristic ballad. Beautiful layered vocals and all around interesting "sounds" and the like. Pop perfection.
