The Other Side

©1997 Jenny Brooklin, arrangement by Alicia Read

 

Verse I:

            We had a fight last night

            and I was on the other side of the room

            Oh yeah

            I’m not that far away

           

Verse II:

            I saw you on the other side

            and you had that strained look in your eyes

            and it made me angry man

            that I didn’t have the strength to realize

            that the distance didn’t matter,

            ‘cause I love you

 

Chorus:

            I didn’t know what I was doing

            I don’t want to treat you like this

            I don’t want to treat you like a stranger, man

            it’s the love I miss

            it’s the love I miss

            it’s the love I miss

            when you’re not around

Bridge:

            well you look at me

            and I look at you

            and in the heat of the moment

            we don’t know what to do

            well we both know there’s gotta be a better way

            than looking love in the eye,

            then turn the other way

            ‘cause I respect you

            I won’t neglect you

            I want to get through, because I love you, I just love you, I just love you,

I just love you...
