The Other Side

There are times

When you will not like the sound of my voice

There are days when a warm

Look from a strange face will make me forget my name

There are nights when you wonder where the party's at now

And you wonder why you never split this beat scene

When a higher life awaits

There are days when you don't know

How you picked the wrong life

In a second when it's over in our own minds

And it's gone without a sound

And there are fights that'll hear things

That we know we don't mean

And we say 'em 'cos we don't know

What we both want and we can't get to the other side

There are years that'll fly like wind across a flood plain

Unaware of its own weight

Free of friction and immune to its own speed

There are weeks that'll crawl

Like slugs across a hot road

Only moving 'cos it just don't know

How to stop on a search for God knows what

And there are songs

That'll make your skull ring like a dropped cup

Resonating with the reasons why you worked through

And the reasons why you stayed

For the long nights when you found a new resolve

That I never knew was there

For the cold eye and the warm embrace now

For the righteous vibe that

I need like the air I breathe

There

There are times when you think

You've got my funny number figured out

There'll be days when

I don't feel like

I ever knew you all that well

And there are lines drawn behind around

Above and over everything

In an effort to figure out the place

The time the wrong the right the yours the mine

And I'll be damned if I feel like

I will ever know anything

But if we don't keep moving on that last hill

We'll never know what's on the other side
