Melissa Ferrick The Other Side
Like electricity scattered
Hey I don't know what I want
To have come this far
To just go back again
To have been loved so much
To actually want to love again
But I forget to ask myself
Hey what do I want to do?
I forget to check in
See the devil's got my hand
And I've been out here wandering this whole time
Pretending I've got me a grand plan
But I told you
I don't know
What I'm doing
It's like I'm drifting out
The current's got my body
But I'm too tired to swim or shout
But I can see you waving
At the shoreline
You're calling me home
But the biggest part of me
Knows that I need to be out here alone and I'm
Floating out here
Waiting for the moon to push the tide
Floating out here waiting for the ocean to carry me
To the other side
Get me to the other side
And I'm forcing inspiration
Out of fear I'll never write again
But I'm out here giving away
More than my body can
Bluffing the whole table
Holding me a pair of threes
I'm dreaming drinking will fix me
Thinking sleeping with you is gonna free me
That my smoking won't kill me
And in the meantime
Look at life out there happening
Cause I don't know
What I'm doing
It's like I'm just drifting out
The current has got my body
But I'm too tired to swim or shout
But I can see you waving
At the shoreline
You're calling me home
But the biggest part of me
Knows that I need to be out here alone
Floating out here
Waiting for the moon to push the tide
Floating out here
Waiting for the ocean to carry me
To the other side
Get me to the other side
Floating out here
Waiting for the moon to push the tide Come on and carry
me
To the other side get me to the other side
