On This Side

We were living in a treehouse

In the middle of the 'burbs

We've got two kids now - he says he wants a third

Well, I would give this man most anything he asks

'Cause I never did imagine

How green grows the grass

On this side, things they work differently

Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be

'Cause this time, we dared to believe

Well it wasn't always this way

I can tell you that for sure

Once the only colour I knew was grey

My heart was low, it was poor

Felt that nobody could love me

The way that I loved them

That was before him

On this side, things they work differently

Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be

'Cause this time, we dared to believe

Why do we forget how to be loved?

Why do we bother doing it was simply getting off?

I'm not talking making babies

Though that is also true

It's whatever you call that thing

I'm in when I'm in with you

On this side, things they work differently

Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be

'Cause this time, we dared to believe

It's a quiet night at home now

Little miracles in bed

And a birdy on my windowsill

That makes happy happen in my heard

It's funny all the little things

So boring to describe

They taught my joy her roots

And they brought my life alive

On this side, things they work differently

Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be

'Cause this time, we dared to believe
