“The Other Side” was the first single from his sixth studio album A New Day at Midnight. The song deals with the theme of death (as Gray’s father died in 2001), in the context of a heartbreaking failed relationship and the author’s reflections on his own and his ex-partner’s emotional and spiritual...
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
See you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is
Another mirage folds
Into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow, all my rage
A tear drop falls on every page
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
Maybe I oughta mention
Was never my intention
To harm you or your kin
Are you so scared to look within?
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
We'll not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
That trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies
Meet me on the other side
Meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
I'll see you on the other side
And honey now if I'm honest
I still don't know what love is
