The Other Side

Just Sketches

Rosalina texts me a message every day.
I “gotta keep my head up while divorce is on the way.”
She’s in the islands of Hawaii.
She’s tryin' to keep her business in line.
But all that’s left is reality, ‘cause
Rosalina was mine.

Love don’t discriminate,
Between the sinners and the saints.
It takes and it takes and it takes,
And we keep loving anyway.

We laugh and we cry and we break,
And then I make mistakes.
If there's a reason we were by our sides,
At that time in our lives.
I'm willing to fight for it.
I'm willing to die for it.

My whole family are the “doctors and dentists for money.”
But flying in the air‘s a feeling that’s sweeter than honey.
My siblings were indifferent,
My cousins said that’s incorrect.
When they left me they said “I’m too different.
Got a legacy to protect.”

“Honor the family,
Rake in the dough, ‘cause money talks,
For honor, and pride and for comforts.
Pilot? Preposterous!
You make us perplexed,
And you don’t show respects. It’s tragic!”

If there's a reason I'm not bereft,
[Every]one who’s loved me has left.
I'm willing to wait for it.
I'm willing to wait for it.

(Wait for it, Wait for it…)
I am the one thing in life I can control.

(Wait for it, Wait for it, Wait for it,)
I really don’t wanna die, but I feel out of control.

(Wait for it, Wait for it,)
I always wanted to be right by her side.

(Wait for it, Wait for it, Wait for it,)
But alas, that’s not how the story writes.

(Wait for it, Wait for it…)
Well, I guess I face an endless uphill climb.
I got nothing to prove, I got nothing to lose.

I always knew it was pointless,
A waste of time.

Why do I bother with love?

Fam didn’t hesitate.
‘Cause they told me, “aviate?
You’re furloughed for days,
You’d be striking anyway.

You’re wasting away and,
By playing you’re making mistakes.”

But I know there's a reason,
Some thrive,
when so few survive.
And I'm still waiting for it.
I'm willing to wait for it...

Love don’t discriminate,
Between the sinners and the saints.
It takes and it takes and it takes,
And we keep living anyway.
We rise and we fall and we break
and then I make mistakes.

If there's a reason I'm still alive,
When most of me has died.
I'm willing to wait for it... (Yes I am.)
I'm willing to wait for it... (I'm willing to wait.)
I'm willing to wait for it...
I'm willing to wait for it... (Wait, Wait)
I'm willing to wait for it... (I'm willing to wait.)
I'm willing to wait for it... (Willing.)
