The Other Side - Melissa Ferrick

Like electricity scattered

Hey I don’t know what I want

To have come this far

To just go back again

To have been loved so much

To actually want to love again

But I forget to ask myself

Hey what do I want to do?

I forget to check in

See the devil’s got my hand

And I’ve been out here wandering this whole time

Pretending I’ve got me a grand plan

But I told you

I don’t know

What I’m doing

It’s like I’m drifting out

The current’s got my body

But I’m too tired to swim or shout

But I can see you waving

At the shoreline

You’re calling me home

But the biggest part of me

Knows that I need to be out here alone and I’m

Floating out here

Waiting for the moon to push the tide

Floating out here waiting for the ocean to carry me

To the other side

Get me to the other side

And I’m forcing inspiration

Out of fear I’ll never write again

But I’m out here giving away

More than my body can

Bluffing the whole table

Holding me a pair of threes

I’m dreaming drinking will fix me

Thinking sleeping with you is gonna free me

That my smoking won’t kill me

And in the meantime

Look at life out there happening

Cause I don’t know

What I’m doing

It’s like I’m just drifting out

The current has got my body

But I’m too tired to swim or shout

But I can see you waving

At the shoreline

You’re calling me home

But the biggest part of me

Knows that I need to be out here alone

Floating out here

Waiting for the moon to push the tide

Floating out here

Waiting for the ocean to carry me

To the other side

Get me to the other side

Floating out here

Waiting for the moon to push the tide Come on and carry me

To the other side get me to the other side
