The Other Side
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel the beat of your heart on my skin
As I count all the breaths that I've watched you breathe in
I can still taste the kiss that you left on my lips
In the silence comes a sleep
Like the tide comes to the beach
So darling

I can't wait for you to wake up
I want to be there when you open your eyes
Darling don't look back
No need to worry
I'll be here waiting on the other side
On the other side
Yeah I'll be here waiting on the other side
On the other side
Yeah I'll be here waiting on the other side

So go make your way through the dreams that you dream
Darling you can take all of the time that you need
You know you're not alone as you swim through the deep
Like a ship calls through the fog
You won't hear me till you're gone
So darling

I can't wait for you to wake up
I want to be there when you open your eyes
Darling don't look back
No need to worry
I'll be here waiting on the other side

So darling
I can't wait for you to wake up
I want to be there when you open your eyes
Darling don't look back
No need to worry
I'll be here waiting on the other side
On the other side
Yeah I'll be here waiting on the other side




On the other side
Yeah I'll be here waiting on the other side
