This Side of the Dirt

Dust to dust
Breath to breath
We're all makin' our way
From birth to death
Moment to moment
Step by step
Each makin' the most
Of our time that's left

On this side of the dirt
We can tell we're alive because we hurt
Ah, but things could be much worse
Than sleepin' on this side of the dirt

Some journey long
Others get cut short
None of it's fair
In this contact sport
Oh, we all have scars
Outside and in
They prove we've been livin'
Show where we've been

On this side of the dirt
We can tell we're alive because we hurt
Ah, but things could be much worse
Than sleepin' on this side of the dirt

I won't be staying long
I'm just passing through
But whatever time I've got
I'd love to spend
with you

On this side of the dirt
With you I'm alive, don't feel no hurt
I'd be the loneliest man on earth
Without you on this side of the dirt
Without you on this side of the dirt
