The Other Side
I’m watchin’ streetlights whipping by
One of them nights I could swear this ain’t real
I’m home—hands off the wheel
Just let it go, let it ride
I’ll see you on the other side
Let it coast, let it fly
I’ll see you on the other side
Roll the window down I want to feel something alive
I’ve got way too many things I know I shouldn’t on my mind
You may tell me that I’m crazy—maybe you gon hate these lines
I just feel that on occasion you might let me waste your time
I don’t know but this shit right here, this is what I need
If I ever tell you otherwise I’m lying through my teeth
Keep on driving it don’t matter where we are
All the spots – every shortcut through the alley
Yeah I’ll be there – I ain’t far
I’m watchin’ streetlights whipping by
One of them nights I could swear this ain’t real
I’m home—hands off the wheel
Just let it go, let it ride
I’ll see you on the other side
Let it coast, let it fly
I’ll see you on the other side
Fender first I’m bending corners, leaning into every turn
Smell them tires burning when I’m swerving
You’d think I would learn
Yearning for that something I can get without applying
I’d be lying if I said without my debt I would be flying
Cause the truth of the matter is I’m my own worst enemy
Citizens arrest became aggressive cause I thought I was free
If I told my right hand that my left was pushing down
Maybe I’d be breathing normal instead of trying not to drown
Instead I’m watchin’ streetlights whipping by
One of them nights I could swear this ain’t real
I’m home—hands off the wheel
Just let it go, let it ride
I’ll see you on the other side
Let it coast, let it fly
I’ll see you on the other side
