Lyrics

On Earth, everyone disagrees with you
No one does all the things you want them to
You're fighting with the world and with your daughter
She's so annoying, she's so rude
Why'd she have to end up so much like you?
Always in your face, just like your taught her
I know I'm not the greatest dad
But I'm the only one she has
You mean the only one she had?
Now you can go on to the other side
Now you can finally have your way
Nobody argues on the other side
Baby, you could stay
Through the never-ending days
I'm so confused. You want me to stay? Our daughter's down there
She's going to college soon and she's so different than you
But she's still my daughter
When she was ten I pushed her bike
She balanced for a moment then she fell and cried
I helped her up and she was flying two days later
These days I wonder if I've gone too far
I mean, red and blue isn't all we are
I want to do much more than tolerate her
And if I let her go
Then she'll never know
That I'm still pushing her right behind her
Like I was ten years ago
And if my daughter's on the other side
How could she be the enemy?
Here is a person I've known her whole life
It's a complicated world
But I know I love my girl
Maybe she isn't on the other side
Maybe she's right there next to me
Maybe I can't walk away from my life
Finally I see
She is where I'm meant to be
And all it took for you to fight for her
Was reverse psychology
I thought I was the good guy
For staying in the fight
I weaponized my anger
'Cause I thought that'd make it right
And I spent so many hours
Lying awake at night
And if judgment doesn't pour down from above
And if nothing that I did felt like enough
Then I'd rather spend my energy
On love
On love
I can see clearly from the other side
A better way to be
You're doing the right thing, Ron
I'll see you in twenty years, along with everyone else
Yes. Wait, what? Wait, what was that?
Dad, can you hear me from the other side?
They say that you're hanging by a thread
We can't debate stuff if you're not alive
Forget all those things we said
Oh, Dad, please don't be dead
Jenna?
Dad?
