The Other Side

One day when I've grown up old
And lived a good life
Smiling through my photographs
And bleeding out the tears
It's strange that I would think of you
But love, it has no way to hide
And all those things I wanted to change
It's just your way to get inside my skin
And I know that your love is deep within
Glowing with a friend
And knowing what's within him

And lately these days I find
I'm looking in every crowd for your eyes
And you've gotta know that I'm not
Nearly as proud of what I did
Oh girl, of my past
Where are you now?
All married and plush?
What was the rush?

And there's this picture I have of you
That I look at whenever I've drowned
And I think of the girls that I've met since then
And then I know that I should have known when
In the past
If I'd only known that you were to be the last
The last to cut inside
The last to make me feel alive

And when that time comes
And I lay myself down to die
There's something that tells me
That I'll see you on the other side
And when that time comes
And I lay myself down to die
There's something that tells me
I'll be with you on the other side
And since death does part
And since death does part
And since death does part
