The Other Side
Paul Van Dyk Feat.Wayne Jackso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When has broken through
I will comfort you
When I wake, my tongue is tied
Daylight brings the great divide
Weeping like the rain
Whispering your name
Long to be reunified
Believe the sun will rise
When I reach the light
I will see you on the other side

See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes

Speeding city lights
Leave me weak tonight
Oh I miss your warmth inside
The stars came out to shine
Across the waterline
I can feel you on the other side

See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
And I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
And I reach the light




See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
