[Verse 1] They took you from my arms That night by the canal Blue tape on the pavement Your name in my mouth like glass I kept your coat by the door Foolish, like it might help I learned the shape of empty I lived inside myself [Pre-Chorus] And every siren cut me clean Every shadow felt like you I prayed to anyone who’d listen For a place I could reach you [Chorus] Meet me on the other side Meet me where the cold runs thin I heard your feet in the dark I knew your hand again (I knew your hand again) Meet me on the other side Where the hurt can’t follow in If I lose you here tonight I’ll find you there, my love (I’ll find you there) [Verse 2] Years went by like winter Empty bottles and cold floor Your laugh was a constant echo Reminders of us from before Then one thin dream at midnight You stood where the river bends No bruises on your collar Just light around your hands [Pre-Chorus] You said, “I never left you I was waiting in the bend” My knees went soft with sorrow Then the air began to bend [Chorus] Meet me on the other side Meet me where the cold runs thin I heard your feet in the dark I knew your hand again (I knew your hand again) Meet me on the other side Where the hurt can’t follow in If I lose you here tonight I’ll find you there, my love (I’ll find you there) [Bridge] I woke with salt on my face And your name inside my breath The world still wears its damage But death don’t get the last word yet If there’s a door in the dark I’m not afraid to go through Not when your voice is calling Not when it sounds like truth [Chorus] Meet me on the other side Meet me where the cold runs thin I heard your feet in the dark I knew your hand again (I knew your hand again) Meet me on the other side Where the hurt can’t follow in If I lose you here tonight I’ll find you there, my love (I’ll find you there) [Outro] Meet me on the other side Meet me on the other side
