lyrics

other side of the night

I could never be honest with you
or show you the real me
rather than the one who you knew
we read each other’s hearts
like tea leaves in a cup
when we got too far beyond prediction
we just gave up
acting like everything was going to be alright
as long as every other thing was kept out of sight
sometimes it’s easier to shut out the light
but now I’m on the other side of the night

I still remember the look in your eyes
a look that said “I love you
but I know that that’s not wise”
and even now this contradiction
is like a bridge between we two
and it sways with each passing breeze
blowing through
sometimes I don’t know why we put black over white
I’d follow the sun but you shut it up tight
you’d rather stay blind but I want it bright
because I am on the other side of the night

We try to stay numb with all of our might
We say pretty words
instead of words that aren’t quite
Words made of clay, words that won’t bite
Words I can’t hear on the other side of the night
