[Verse 1]
I saw an old friend the other day
Been a while since I'd seen his face
He never settled for second best
He stood at the top looking down on the rest
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, it's not real
Oh, it's not real
[Verse 2]
He always seemed to have faith
But now the light had begun to fade
And he was stuck in a fight within
Couldn't come back down from where he'd been
[Chorus]
On the otherside, on the otherside
Shit's always better on the otherside
On the otherside, on the otherside
There's nothing over there on the otherside
[Verse 3]
I saw my old friend the other day
Hardly recognized his face
I did my best trying to pretend
But I could see that he'd reached the end
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He said, "Do me a favor and don't look back
Or sit around thinkin' bout what you don't have"
[Chorus]
On the otherside, on the otherside
Shit's always better on the otherside
On the otherside, on the otherside
There's nothing over there on the otherside
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, it's not real
Oh, it's not real
[Chorus]
On the otherside, on the otherside
Shit's always better on the otherside
On the otherside, on the otherside
There's nothing over there on the otherside
[Outro]
Now my friend's no longer here
I still remember his words so clear
Do me a favor and don't look back
Look up around and see what you have
