The Other Side

[Verse 1]
I found that tape in a shoebox by the stairs
Your handwriting crooked, ’91 in blue
A dozen little chapters pressed between the reels
And every one still sounds like you

[Pre-Chorus]
The radio missed them, the world moved on
But I know every turn, every wrong-way song

[Chorus]
Flip it over, there’s another side
Little lost songs that I keep inside
Not the one they played, not the one they knew
Every B-side takes me back to you
Turn, turn—let the years rewind
Every chapter has a song they left behind
Flip it over, let the whole thing ride
My favorite song’s on the other side

[Verse 2]
The bus-stop summer, your coat in the rain
The first small room with the furnace that clanged
That long goodbye we couldn’t get right
Each had a tune we kept out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]
No golden record, no polished refrain
Just the sound of us, still warm in the grain

[Chorus]
Flip it over, there’s another side
Little lost songs that I keep inside
Not the one they played, not the one they knew
Every B-side takes me back to you
Turn, turn—let the years rewind
Every chapter has a song they left behind
Flip it over, let the whole thing ride
My favorite song’s on the other side

[Bridge]
Somewhere between the hiss and the pause
A whole life waits without applause
I press play on the parts we saved
The quiet tracks that made us brave

[Final Chorus]
Flip it over, there’s another side
Little lost songs that I keep inside
Not the one they played, not the one they knew
Every B-side takes me back to you
Turn, turn—let the years rewind
Every chapter has a song they left behind
Flip it over, let the whole thing ride
My favorite song’s on the other side

[Outro]
One more side, one more try
Our best songs never had to fly
