The Other Side

I've got tired eyes

A black sky

Making its home under my lash line

You keep on crying

Babe, I don't mind

I keep on staring at the clock tryna pass time

And my life, it flies by

Faster than you could say

I love you, goodbye

It's almost over

You say with a sigh

Will our lives be better

When we make it to the other side?

I hope we make it to the other side

Eighteen, prom queen

We spend our time

Thinking 'bout what we'll be doing

We walk quiet streets

Not afraid of the sounds

Nothing bad ever happens in this town

Mean dreams, can't sleep

Younger me thought this'd be more bittersweet

But we never noticed how long it'd been

Got too caught up in the life we were living

I hope we make it to the other side

And I hope, I hope

All of our homes have white fences

And I hope, I hope

Our smiles are wider than theirs is

And I hope, I hope

All of our dreams are kept fragrant

And I'll meet you on the pavement

When we make it to the other side

I hope we make it to the other side
