The Other Side

Starry eyes and cellophane
She takes her walk
She makes her plans
A truck barrels down the avenue
There’s broken glass
A missing pew at church

Maybe I was wrong
Maybe times too strong

Are we falling further?
Are there lights to take us home
When everyone is gone?
Are we breaking title
To ask the question why
We live and then we die?
I think I’m fine
Maybe I’ll write you
From the other side

He was young when Mom got cancer
Here life comes on Dasher, Dancer
Raised up his little sister on his own
He brushed her hair and watched her grow

Maybe I was wrong
Maybe times not that strong

Are we falling further?
Are there lights to take us home
When everyone is gone?
Are we breaking title
To ask the question why
We live and then we die?
I think I’m fine
Maybe I’ll write you
From the other side

I’m just gonna take it slowly
I’m just gonna live one day at a time
I hope you feel you truly know me
If something comes to take me in the night

Are we falling further?
Are there lights to take us home
When everyone is gone?
Are we breaking title
To ask the question why
We live and then we die?
I think I’m fine
Maybe I’ll write you
From the other side
