Lyrics

The Other Side

[Verse 1]
Wakin' up this morning
I thought the sunrise got it wrong
Rousin' painful memories and casting shadows
that are way too long...

[guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
So I drift into random bars
where the lights tell just enough
The best cameras are whiskey and beer
Filming scenes of smiles and lies at night
Get me wondering' why I'm even here

[Chorus]
I'm slowly learnin' to let it go...
Days show me mountains I gotta climb...
And I try to spend my nights...
Runnin' down the other side...
Yeah...
Dancin' through my nights...

[Bridge]
I catch a magic smile across the floor
She waves a gentle invite to dance
and I hesitate for sure...
but for the first time...
in a long time...
I think I'll take a chance


[Chorus]
I'm slowly learnin' to let it go...
Days show me mountains I gotta climb...
And I try to spend my nights...
Runnin' down the other side...
Yeah... Dancing through the night...

Outro:
The music's playin'...
I'm still dancin' with a stranger
Maybe I'll find love again... Maybe not...
But for now... In this moment...
My hearts not in danger...
Yeah...
My hearts not in danger...
So I'm dancin' through my nights...
Yeah... Dancin' through my nights...

To get to the other side...
