[Verse 1: Maddie Marlow]
I know you have your doubts
That you'll ever get out of this
You've lost all you can bear to lose
And I may not know it all
But I know how hard it is
Wish I could carry that cross with you
[Pre-Chorus: Maddie Marlow & Taylor Dye]
I know your heart is heavy
And your feet feel unsteady
That high wire is ready to break
[Chorus: Maddie Marlow & Taylor Dye]
But there's strength in the weakness
And light in the pieces
Even broke down hearts know how to shine
There's wisdom in the waiting
And peace in the patience
Time always takes care of the changing tide
Don't let nobody tell you otherwisе
You're closer than you think to the othеr side
[Verse 2: Lori McKenna]
One morning you'll wake up
And everything will start making sense
'Cause mercy always wins
And your heart will get back home
Settle right there in your chest
And you'll be living proof that the good fight's worth fighting in
[Chorus: Maddie Marlow, Taylor Dye & Lori McKenna]
There's strength in the weakness
And light in the pieces
Even broke down hearts know how to shine
There's wisdom in the waiting
And peace in the patience
Time always takes care of the changing tide
Don't let nobody tell you otherwise
You're closer than you think to the other side
Oh, the other side
[Bridge: Maddie Marlow, Taylor Dye & Lori McKenna]
I know your heart is heavy
And your feet feel unsteady
That high wire is ready to break
Don't forget
[Chorus: Maddie Marlow, Taylor Dye & Lori McKenna]
That there's strength in the weakness
And light in the pieces
Even broke down hearts knows how to shine
Oh, there's wisdom in the waiting
And peace in the patience
Time always takes care of the changing tide
And if you need a hand, then reach for mine
You're closer than you think to the other side
The other side
The other side

Maddie:
We were talking and Tae’s husband, Josh [Kerr], had watched our documentary, Reframed, that we did with our last album. Tae was talking about what it was like for her watching me walk through a really hard season of depression after we had our label shut down—basically, the rug was just com...
Maddie:
I think “The Other Side” was one of the first songs that we wrote [with Lori McKenna.] Almost positive. Definitely first or second, but we wrote that during the pandemic and it just was one of those songs that just fell out. It was so natural. And actually [Tae’s husband] Josh [Kerr] got th...
