other side
Pe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In Southern Mexico
You forget just why you came
You run to Northern California
But, you forget to change your name
But, when I get to New York City
It won't matter none of this will change
Ten thousand miles and running
All these songs will remain the same

CHORUS

Just take your time
Your life is just beginning
You are all grown up
Wanting for the other side
Just take you time
I will always be there waiting
On the other side
Wanting for the other side

Inside my worried mind
I wonder why I'm here
And all the questions that I ask myself
The answers are never clear
I can't believe that it's all over
I don't know where to begin
I've got to outrun these shadows
Feel the sun on my face again… my friend

CHORUS

I thought I knew them
I thought they were my friends
Well I must be crazy
It never ends…it never ends
No, we are not the same
We are so far apart
And the distance felt between us
Is in the heart….you know it's true

CHORUS





Just take your time…
