Friends To Go

Paul McCartney · Chaos and Creation in the Backyard [2005]

I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide

I'd prefer they didn't know

So I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



I've been sliding down a slippy slope

I've been climbing up a slowly burning rope

But the flame is getting low

I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



You never need to worry about me

I'll be fine on my own

Someone else can worry about me

I spend a lot of time on my own

I spend a lot of time on my own



I've been waiting 'til the danger's past

I don't know how long the storm is gonna last

If we're gonna carry on

I'll be waiting on the other side

'Til your friends are gone



So tell me what I wanna know

I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



Someone else can worry about me

I spend a lot of time on my own

I spend a lot of time on my own



I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide

I'd prefer they didn't know

So I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



I've been waiting on the other side

I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go
