The Other Side

I've got tired eyes
 A black sky
 Making its home under my lash line
 You keep on crying
 Babe, I don't mind
 I keep on staring at the clock tryna pass time
 And my life, it flies by
 Faster than you could say
 I love you, goodbye
 It's almost over
 You say with a sigh
 Will our lives be better
 When we make it to the other side?
 I hope we make it to the other side
 ♪
 Eighteen, prom queen
 We spend our time
 Thinking 'bout what we'll be doing
 We walk quiet streets
 Not afraid of the sounds
 Nothing bad ever happens in this town
 Mean dreams, can't sleep
 Younger me thought this'd be more bittersweet
 But we never noticed how long it'd been
 Got too caught up in the life we were living
 I hope we make it to the other side
 ♪
 And I hope, I hope
 All of our homes have white fences
 And I hope, I hope
 Our smiles are wider than theirs is
 And I hope, I hope
 All of our dreams are kept fragrant
 And I'll meet you on the pavement
 When we make it to the other side
 I hope we make it to the other side
