The Other Side Of Paradise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I took my love out for a walk into the rain
The time had come when we should talk things out again
(Where did you go?) - I can't recall,
(What did you do?) - Not much at all,
The other side of paradise
If we were perfect we would know a perfect love
But we're so different we can't go like a hand fits in a glove
(Where did you go?) - I can't recall,
(What did you do?) - Not much at all,
The other side of paradise
The other side, the other side of your love
I'll cross that line, but that's not enough
It's too much
And in the end it will depend on you and me,
And if you still call yourself my friend you soon will see
It's in the way we treat ourselves and those all around
We must believe that we can help if we can
Fight against our prejudice and try to straighten out this mess
(What did you do?) - I cannot recall,
(Where did you go?)- Not far at all
The other side of paradise
