The Other Side of Town

​

You're eternal in my wishes

But your crown's not made of gold

I'm still playing with a full deck

But sometimes I have to fold

I still see in color

But the whole world sees in gray

I'm standing on the sideline

And I don't know what to say

I think I would run out of room

If I stop to write it down

Since I live in a cartoon

On the crazy side of town

All I have is time to spare

And not a second to go home

If I walk in a straight line

I'm still six feet from your throne

I don't want to hold your hand

I want to sit here in the dark

The lights are out, the kids went home

Nobody's in the park

There's nobody to play with

No one wants to talk to me

It's because I see in color

They say grays the way to be

But I feel like I'm special

Like I'm blessed from head to toe

I really think I'm lucky

That you stop to say hello

Out of everything I've got in life

I'm glad that I've got you

I couldn't love you more, you know

Then I already do
