The Other Side
Lucas Marx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen the signs that you left me baby,
and they drive me crazy
Followed them blind and they left me hazy,
oh it couldn't be easy

We've been floating down the river for what seems to be a lifetime
but it only ends in goodbye
Just like design, I let go - you crave me
and you can't stop shaking

I believe that I can see the light inside you starting to die
It isn't like we could'a kept running away
I believe that I can see the light inside you starting to die
It isn't like we could'a kept running away

But I'll be there waiting for you on the other side
Uh hm, the other side
Waiting for you on the other side

I can never find the words, to say I need to be alone
But I still need you closer than a distant memory
You said you'd never let it go, forever I was yours to hold
But I couldn't let you get the better of me

We've been floating down the river for what seems to be a lifetime
but it only ends in goodbye
Just like design, but I let go - you crave me
and you can't stop shaking

I believe that I can see the light inside you starting to die
It isn't like we could'a kept running away
I believe that I can see the light inside you starting to die
It isn't like we could'a kept running away

But I'll be there waiting for you on the other side
Uh hm, the other side
Waiting for you on the other side

You've seen me at my worst, gave me something that I didn't deserve




And now I want to get away
And now I want to get away

Line by Line Meaning

I've seen the signs that you left me baby, and they drive me crazy
I noticed the indications of your departure, and it instills insanity


Followed them blind and they left me hazy, oh it couldn't be easy
I blindly chased after them, and it left me in a fog; it couldn't have been effortless


We've been floating down the river for what seems to be a lifetime but it only ends in goodbye
We've been together for a long time, but it always ends with saying farewell


Just like design, I let go - you crave me and you can't stop shaking
Similar to a plan, I released my grip - you desire my presence and can't stop trembling


I believe that I can see the light inside you starting to die
I sense that the spark within you is slowly fading away


It isn't like we could'a kept running away
It's impractical for us to continue avoiding our issues


But I'll be there waiting for you on the other side
However, I'll be patiently waiting for you to come back to me


I can never find the words, to say I need to be alone
Expressing my need for solitude is a challenging task for me


But I still need you closer than a distant memory
Despite that, I require your presence to be closer than a faint memory


You said you'd never let it go, forever I was yours to hold
You promised to never let me go, and that I would always belong to you


But I couldn't let you get the better of me
However, I couldn't permit you to have control over me


You've seen me at my worst, gave me something that I didn't deserve
You have witnessed my lowest moments and presented me with something I didn't earn


And now I want to get away
Now, I yearn to distance myself from everything

I was given Richard Marx' album for my birthday when I was a kid. I had a blast from the past and went looking for him. I found this guy. This song is really good. What a beautiful voice.
Why aren't there more views. Why didn't this get global. I'm from France and I bet you my countrymen would love this. Come here and find out! πŸ‘ŠπŸ˜
