Lyrics Love On This Side - The Shadowboxers

Love On This Side

I’ve laughed a lot
And cried myself to sleep
Took care to wash my hands
But forgot to breathe
And I’ve learned that I’m a loss
And I’ve lost all I have learned
Finding peace in empty misery
So that misery is empty within me
And I buttoned up my shirt and I tucked it in
With headphones in my ears I pretend to tune in
And I’ve played your metal hand
And I’ve handed you my cash
Not knowing that the world has other paths
And I’m ignoring all the lessons of the past
And I’ve seen
Where I don’t want to go
And I need
The after love glow
No I won’t take no
Red means go
I got love on this side of me
I got love on this side of me
I got love on this side of me
And I turned a blind eye
Too many times
On the nameless boy
That dwells inside my mind
And I galvanized my heart
To protect it from the rain
Not knowing that love requires pain
But pain that’s washed in love cannot remain
But that’s as painful as the boy without a name
And I been up high
And I watched the dance below
And it’s all the days
That I let my joy take hold
And I’m so grateful for the sky
And the moon that makes the eye
So I can see my feelings in the stone
And the stone can bear another broken bone
And I’ve seen
Where I don’t want to turn
And I need
The after love burn
No I won’t take no
Red means go
I got love on this side of me
I got love on this side of me
I got love on this side of me
Hey, I swear I’ll always love again
Hey, I swear I’ll always love again
Hey, I swear I’ll always love again
Hey, I swear I’ll always love again
