Love On This Side - The Shadowboxers

I’ve laughed a lot

And cried myself to sleep

Took care to wash my hands

But forgot to breathe

And I’ve learned that I’m a loss

And I’ve lost all I have learned

Finding peace in empty misery

So that misery is empty within me

And I buttoned up my shirt and I tucked it in

With headphones in my ears I pretend to tune in

And I’ve played your metal hand

And I’ve handed you my cash

Not knowing that the world has other paths

And I’m ignoring all the lessons of the past

And I’ve seen

Where I don’t want to go

And I need

The after love glow

No I won’t take no

Red means go

I got love on this side of me

I got love on this side of me

I got love on this side of me

And I turned a blind eye

Too many times

On the nameless boy

That dwells inside my mind

And I galvanized my heart

To protect it from the rain

Not knowing that love requires pain

But pain that’s washed in love cannot remain

But that’s as painful as the boy without a name

And I been up high

And I watched the dance below

And it’s all the days

That I let my joy take hold

And I’m so grateful for the sky

And the moon that makes the eye

So I can see my feelings in the stone

And the stone can bear another broken bone

And I’ve seen

Where I don’t want to turn

And I need

The after love burn

No I won’t take no

Red means go

I got love on this side of me

I got love on this side of me

I got love on this side of me

Hey, I swear I’ll always love again

Hey, I swear I’ll always love again

Hey, I swear I’ll always love again

Hey, I swear I’ll always love again
