the other side

Alessia Cara

In my room, staying up late
And I'm planning my escape
Cause I know I can't stay
In my veins I got the feeling
Like there must be something more
I've never been so sure

All night and day
I dream of a place

Somewhere far, far away
Beyond the crowded city lights
I wanna open up my eyes
And see you on the other side

These streets aren't easy
And I need your hand to hold
So I'm not alone
And I hear all these voices
Though they try to slow me now
I can tune them out

All night and day
I dream of a place

Somewhere far, far away
Beyond the crowded city lights
Out of the darkness we can shine
So I'm packing my bags
I'm gonna leave it all behind
I wanna open up my eyes
And see you on the other side

Here it goes
I clear my throat
And cue the violins
Making moves
Shout it from the rooftops
I'm trying to live, yeah

Somewhere far, far away
Beyond the crowded city lights
Out of the darkness we can shine
Somewhere far, far away
Beyond the crowded city lights
Out of the darkness we can shine
So I'm packing my bags
I'm gonna leave it all behind
I wanna open up my eyes
And see you on the other side
