Linda Eder - The Other Side Of Me (2008) by Linda Eder (보컬) on maniadb.com

She slams the door and you come running
A crazy love has made you sick
This time you never see it coming
Then it hits you like a ton of bricks

I've always been the one
Who puts you back together
She gets the best of you
And I get your stormy weather
I need some sunshine of my own
(Sunshine of my own)

Chorus:
Remember next time when you fall
When you crash into that same ol' wall
Don't call
Follow your star to God knows where
When it burns out, I won't be there
I'm so done pickin' up the peices

We've known each other for so long now
Commit your every line to memory
We could be so perfect
If you'd open those eyes,you'd be surprised
You've got my garauntee

I thought it was crystal clear
That we belong together

If something is absent here
Then go chase that stormy weather

Repeat Chorus

(Pickin' up the peices)
I'm so done pickin' up the peices
(Pickin' up the peices)
I can't pick up your peices anymore...

Repeat Chorus

Remember next time when you fall
I'm so done pickin' up the peices
When you crash into that wall
I'm so done pickin' up the peices
Remember next time when you fall
Don't call
When you crash into that wall

Remember next time you fall
I need some sunshine of my own
Remember next time you fall
I need some sunshine of my own

If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would

If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes, I would

If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I'll watch you grow so I can let you go

If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would if I could

In a time and place where you don't wanna be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way

If I knew
I'd try to change the world I brought you to
Now there isn't much more that I can do
But I would if I could

If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I'll watch you grow so I can let you go

If I could
I'd help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would if I could

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughin' when you go
And if you care don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say, "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
But something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Born with heaven in their eyes
God sent, innocent, the promise of life
Born into this mess we've made
Holding the future and hope of better days
?Cause these is nothing more beautiful and wild
Than the dreams that grow in the heart of every child

They are the roses, they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels, they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything?s gonna be alright, they are the roses

Imagine a place filled with happy sounds of playgrounds
Where every child is safe
Where people join hands and pray that the children
Will all have a chance
In every family, every tribe and every town
We?re the keepers of this garden, and we can?t let them down

'Cause they are the roses, they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels, they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything?s gonna be alright, they are the roses

Imagine a place
Where all people join hands, and every child is safe

'Cause they are the roses, they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels, they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything's gonna be alright

They are the roses, they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels, they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything?s gonna be alright

There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to in our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams

And the Mississippi's mighty but it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across with five steps down
And I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart
Now you rush right through me and I start to drown

And there's not enough room in this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost

Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night makes me blush
And you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river play your memory like a piper

And I feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me
I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
And that's the edge of sanity, I've never been this close
I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost

Unknowing captor, you never know how much you
Pierce my spirit but I can't touch you
Can you hear it, a cry to be free?
I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me

Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence and I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels

This bitter pill I swallow is the silence that I keep
It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse than most
I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost
I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost

These wasted days have all piled up
Right there by the door
My memories stretched as far as I can see

Blank white pages and brand new faces
Are all I'm looking for
They say the things that mattered
Don't matter like before

Let it rain, let the sky fall down
No matter what I face
I'm gonna make today, make today beautiful
I'm fighting the tide, hope is my only guide
With just one ounce of faith
I'm going to make today, make today beautiful

I've cast these doubts into the breeze
And watched them fly away
Letting go of expectations one by one

I'm not chasing perfect, it's not worth it
Things can't stay the same
So let the sky grow dark now
Go ahead and

Let it rain, let the sky fall down
No matter what I face
I'm gonna make today, make today beautiful
I'm fighting the tide, hope is my only guide
With just one ounce of faith
I'm going to make today, make today beautiful

Every change, every ending
Takes me places I've never been
Who'd have guessed I belong here?

Let it rain, just let the sky fall down
No matter what I face
I'm gonna make today, make today beautiful
I'm fighting the tide, hope is my only guide
With just one ounce of faith
I'm going to make today, make today beautiful

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
