The Other Side of Life - The Moody Blues

In the heat of the fight, I walked away Ignorin' words that you were sayin' Tryna make me stay I said, "This time I've had enough" And you've called a hundred times But I'm not picking up 'Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over But if you look a little closer I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone I keep goin' back over things we both said And I remember the slamming door And all the things that I misread Oh, babe, if you know everything Tell me why you couldn't see When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door And I'll scream out the window I can't even look at you I don't need you but I do, I do, I do I say, "There's nothing you can say To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it" But what I mean is I said, "Leave", but, baby, all I want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you

Goddamn, how'd I end up here? My dreams, they all turn to nightmares I'm not the same since that November I know that you don't deserve this My problems, my fight, and your shit I got them tangled up together I won't blame you if you walk away But won't you stay? I got a battle here to fight Don't know if I'll ever see the light But won't you stay? I don't need much from you tonight Just tell me you'll meet me there alive On the other side On the other side On the other side On the other side I wasn't always like this 16 and naive, a good kid My mom and dad never saw it comin' (ooh-ooh) But now I'm stuck in the trenches Crawlin' through my consequences I guess it's time I stop the runnin' I won't blame you if you walk away But won't you stay? (Ooh-ooh) I got a battle here to fight Don't know if I'll ever see the light But won't you stay? (Ooh-ooh) I don't need much from you tonight Just tell me you'll meet me there alive On the other side On the other side On the other side On the other side

Grab your coat and snatch your hat Leave your worries on the doorstep Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street Can't you hear that pitter pat And that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet On the sunny side of the street I used to walk in the shade With the blues on parade No longer I'm afraid The rover, crossed over If I never had a cent I'll be rich as Rockfeller A gold dust at my feet On the sunny side of the street I used to walk in the shade With those blues on parade But I'm not afraid 'Cause the rover, he's got over If I never had a cent I'll be rich as Rockfeller All those chicks 'round my feet On the sunny, sunny side of the street

On your side of the bed, there's a picture of our wedding day A clock that don't work and a bible that your daddy gave It's on the window side, where the moon creeps in at night Staring at the ceiling, lying here all alone I said a prayer for you, then I said one of my own But you don't reach for me, when you lie down quietly Tell me how, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? On your side of the bed On your side of the bed there's a burnt down candle flame A letter I've started but I didn't know what to say Now I couldn't write it down, so I try to say it now Tell me how, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? On your side of the bed Aren't you even gonna make a sound? Your side of the bed Turn the other way when I turn the lights down Your side of the bed Are you lonely? Like I'm lonely? How, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? Tell me how, how'd you get so far away? All we have left are the memories of the love we made Are you sleeping with your own regret? On your side of the bed On your side of the bed Are you still awake, on your side of the bed

Right here, right now I put the offer out I don't wanna chase you down I know you see it You run with me And I can cut you free Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in So trade that typical for something colorful And if it's crazy, live a little crazy You can play it sensible, a king of conventional Or you can risk it all and see Don't you wanna get away From the same old part you gotta play? 'Cause I got what you need So come with me and take the ride It'll take you to the other side 'Cause you can do like you do Or you can do like me Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly It'll take you to the other side Okay, my friend, you wanna cut me in Well, I hate to tell you But it just won't happen So thanks, but no I think I'm good to go 'Cause I quite enjoy the life You say I'm trapped in Now I admire you, and that whole show you do You're onto something, really it's something But I live among the swells, we don't pick up peanut shells I'll have to leave that up to you Don't you know that I'm okay With this uptown part I get to play? 'Cause I got what I need And I don't want to take the ride I don't need to see the other side So go and do like you do I'm good to do like me Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key Oh, damn, can't you see I'm doing fine? I don't need to see the other side Is this really how you like to spend your days Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays? If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little Just let me give you the freedom to dream And it'll wake you up and cure your aching Take your walls and start 'em breaking Now that's a deal, that seems worth taking But I guess I'll leave that up to you Well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly So what percentage of the show would I be taking? Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen I wasn't born this morning, 18 would be just fine Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime? 15 (I'd do eight) 12 (maybe nine) Ten Don't you wanna get away To a whole new part you're gonna play? 'Cause I got what you need So come with me and take the ride To the other side So if you do like I do So if you do like me Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key Oh, damn, suddenly we're free to fly We're going to the other side So if you do like I do (to the other side) So if you do like me (we're going to the other side) 'Cause if we do like (we're going to the other side) We're going to the other side

Yeah! I can see you but you can't see me I could touch you and you wouldn't even feel me Wait a second and you'll settle down I'm just waiting, 'til you really let your guard down You're relaxed, you're sublime, you're amazing You don't even know the danger you're facing If I'm quiet, I'll slide up behind you And if you hear me I'll enjoy trying to find you I've been with you all day I'm trying to stay calm I'm impatient and it's really hard to breathe I'm going to empty you and fill you in with me Just keep the violence down Not yet, don't make a sound Oh God I'm feeling it It's reaching fever pitch My skin is caving in My heart is driving out No mercy, no remorse Let nature take its course Watching (bring me to my knees) Waiting (I am your disease) Lover (set my symptom free) Covered (you can't stop me) (Shh, wait, shh, no, wait, wait, no) (Shh, wait, wait, not yet, no, wait, wait) I'm sweating through my veins I'm trying to hold on It's unbearable, it's almost worse for me I'm gonna tear you apart and make you see Make you see! (Bring me to my knees) Waiting (I am your disease) Lover (set my symptom free) Covered (you can't stop me) This is the virus The virus of life This is inside us The crisis, the knife This is the virus The virus of life This is inside us The crisis, the knife It's almost time to play It's time to be afraid I can't control the pain I can't control in vain Oh God I'm ready now You're almost ready now I'm gonna love you now I'm gonna break it down I see you in the dark I see you all the way I see you in the light I see you plain as day I wanna touch your face I wanna touch your soul I wanna wear your face I wanna burn your soul Watching (bring me to my knees) Waiting (I am your disease) Lover (set my symptom free) Covered (you can't stop me) This is the virus, the virus of life This is the virus, the virus of life This is the virus, the virus of life This is the virus, the virus of life This is the virus, the virus of life This is the virus, the virus of life This is the virus, the virus of life This is the virus, the virus of life
