the other side

i've got tired eyes, a black sky, making it's home under my lash line, you keep on crying, babe i don't mind, i keep on staring at the clock tryna pass time, in 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?, 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 i'd been, got too caught up in the life we're living, hope we make it to the other side, and i hope, i hope, all of our homes have white fences, i hope, i hope, our smiles are wider than theirs is, 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, hope we make it to the other side
