[Verse 1]
How long, how long will I slide?
Separate my side, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat, it's all I ever
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up, it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the other side
[Chorus]
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I married the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on
[Verse 2]
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full, and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut?
I've got to take it on the other side
[Verse 1] Hao long, hao long will-I slide? Sep-a-rate my said, I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat, it's always ever
[Pre-Chorus] I heard your voice through a photograph I thought it up, it brought up the past Once you know, you can never go back I gotta take it on the other side
[Chorus] Centuries are what it meant to me A cemetery where I married the sea Stranger things could never change my mind I gotta take it on the other side Take it on the other side Take it on Take it on
[Verse 2] Pour my life into a paper cup The ashtray's full, and I'm spillin' my guts She wants to know am I still a slut? I've got to take it on the other side
