Sometimes I feel like I'm just wasting time
|
Looking for another side
|
|
Sometime I feel like I'm losing my mind a¢æ?cause there ain't
|
No other side
|
|
Sometimes I'm just spinning my wheels, ain't no big deal
|
Morning, there's another side
|
|
Sometimes I feel like I'm just standing in place, ain't no real race
|
Ain't no other side
|
|
Life is like a circle and you end up where you started
|
If you end up where you started ain't no other side
|
|
Yeah, but if life is like a curtain that I'm 90% certain that I'm looking through at something
|
Yes, I'm almost touching something on the other side
|
|
Yeah, the opposite of new is old
|
The opposite of young is old
|
Seems like everything has got another side
|
Yeah, but young ones want to be old ones
|
Old ones know what they would do if they was young ones
|
People ain't never really satisfied
|
People ain't never satisfied
|
|
If life is like a mirror then the nearer you get clearer
|
You can see it so much clearer
|
Feel like you know about the other side
|
|
My friends all swear that they know
|
|
What I should do with my life
|
How I should run my life
|
What should be happening with my life
|
They're on the other side
|
|
They're on the outside
|
I'm on the inside
|
|
Things always look so much better on the other side
|
Four O'clock in the morning
|
They don't know
|
All the things I been needing
|
They don't know
|
Breaking out in a sweat
|
And they don't know
|
|
Feeling down
|
And they don't know
|
They don't know the other side
|
|
I need to go home
|
Momma could change it
|
Daddy could help me
|
Yes, I could go home
|
|
Yeah, Momma don't need to see me this way
|
Know me this way
|
Touch me this way
|
Love me this way
|
Find me this way
|
I can't go home
|
|
I'm saying
|
I don't want to call him
|
I don't want to know him
|
I don't want to need him
|
I don't want to feel it
|
I don't want to know
|
|
But I know, know know
|
|
Hey, home
|
So I say tomorrow
|
Tomorrow [repeat]
|
I'm going home
|
Tomorrow ain't coming
|
Tomorrow will always where it was
|
Tomorrow [repeat]
|
I need to go home
|
Maybe I could start all over at home
|
Without the whispers
|
|
Hanging on me
|
Pulling on me, rolling with me
|
Pulling on me
|
|
Yes, I'd like to go home
|
Without the whispers
|
