Lyrics

Other Side of the Window
c.2004 Ashland Miller

You stand there gazing out the window
In the downstairs front room of our home
And in your eyes there?s a longing to go
Oh, to be on the other side of the window

(chorus)
Is it the chase or the find that sends you ticking away your time
For the one that?s perfectly right
Or is it the absence of the grind that sends you ticking away to find
The perfect that will leave again sometime

I stand my ground and I won?t let you go
That outside world might hurt you, you know
And in my eyes nothing good would come of it
Oh to be on the other side of our window

(chorus 2)
Is it the chain or the bind that helps me closely analyze
When you aren?t perfectly right
Or is it the absence in my find that sends me ticking away blindly
For the perfect that will leave again sometime

Oh to be on the other side of our window

You and me, we?re both the same
Staring into these dusty panes
We will never win the game
If we keep looking into what we cant see through

Oh to be on the other side of our window.
