The Other Side Of Love

Last night you held your pillow in some old double bed
In a motel where you fell asleep with my face in your head
And now you can’t remember when you’ve ever felt this far
From everything that matters, and you wonder where you are

Welcome to the other side of love

The rainbows and the butterflies and this morning’s coffee kiss
The patience that it took to build years of happiness
Feels like sand that slips beneath you in the tide
When you’re standing on the other side of love

Through the years we’ve come to find
That we both care enough
To let each other go sometimes
To the other side of love

I’ve been there so many times, I know that place so well
Like you I strayed from Heaven and I caught that glimpse of Hell
We can’t make us over into something that we’re not
But every time you drift away, remember what we’ve got

When you go to the other side of love

Temptation’s just another taste of something we thirst for
We both want the thrill but we need each other more

So I’ll meet you in the middle of that field we used to know
Where we can find some solid ground and we can both come home
From the other side of love

let’s come home from the other side of love
Let’s say goodbye to the other side of love
‘Cause it’s a lie, a lonely lie
On the other side of love

Last night you held your pillow in some old double bed
In a motel where you fell asleep with my face in your head…
