On This Side

We were living in a treehouse
In the middle of the 'burbs
We've got two kids now - he says he wants a third
Well, I would give this man most anything he asks
'Cause I never did imagine
How green grows the grass

On this side, things they work differently
Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be
'Cause this time, we dared to believe

Well it wasn't always this way
I can tell you that for sure
Once the only colour I knew was grey
My heart was low, it was poor
Felt that nobody could love me
The way that I loved them
That was before him

On this side, things they work differently
Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be
'Cause this time, we dared to believe

Why do we forget how to be loved?
Why do we bother doing it was simply getting off?
I'm not talking making babies
Though that is also true
It's whatever you call that thing
I'm in when I'm in with you

On this side, things they work differently
Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be
'Cause this time, we dared to believe

It's a quiet night at home now
Little miracles in bed
And a birdy on my windowsill
That makes happy happen in my heard
It's funny all the little things
So boring to describe
They taught my joy her roots
And they brought my life alive

On this side, things they work differently
Me oh my, we're all that we hoped we'd be
'Cause this time, we dared to believe
