I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide

I prefer they didn't know

So I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



I've been sliding down a slippy slope

I've been climbing up a slowly burning rope

But the flame is getting low

I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



You never need to worry about me

I'll be fine on my own

Someone else can worry about me

I've spent a lot of time on my own

I've spent a lot of time on my own



I've been waiting ‘till the danger passed

I don't know how long the storm is going to last

If we're going to carry on

I'll been waiting on the other side

‘till your friends have gone



So tell me what I want to know

I'll be waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



Someone else can worry about me

I've spent a lot of time on my own

I've spent a lot of time on my own



I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide

I'd prefer they didn't know

So I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go



I've been waiting on the other side

I've been waiting on the other side

For your friends to go
