On The Other Side

The Strokes · First Impressions of Earth [2006]

I'm tired of everyone I know,

of everyone I see

on the street

and on TV.



On the other side, on the other side

nobody's waiting for me.

On the other side



I hate them all,

I hate them all.

I hate myself for hating them,

So I'll drink some more.

I'll love them all.

I'll drink even more.

I'll hate them even more than I did before.



On the other side, on the other side

nobody's waiting for me.

On the other side.



I remember when you came,

you taught me how to sing.

Now, it seems so far away.

You taught me how to sing...



I'm tired of being so judgemental

of everyone,

I will not go to sleep.

I will train my eyes to see

that my mind is as blind as a branch on a tree.



On the other side, on the other side

I know what's waiting for me.

On the other side.

On the other side, on the other side

I know you're waiting for me.

On the other side.
