I saw an old friend the other day
Been a while since I'd seen his face
He never settled for second best
He stood at the top looking down on the rest

Oh, it's not real
Oh, it's not real

He always seemed to have faith
But now the light had begun to fade
And he was stuck in a fight within
Couldn't come back down from where he'd
Been

On the otherside, on the otherside
Shit's always better on the otherside
On the otherside, on the otherside
There's nothing over there on the otherside

I saw my old friend the other day
Hardly recognized his face
I did my best trying to pretend
But I could see that he'd reached the end

He said: Do me a favor and don't look back
Or sit around thinkin' bout what you don't have

On the otherside, on the otherside
Shit's always better on the otherside
On the otherside, on the otherside
There's nothing over there on the otherside

Oh, it's not real
Oh, it's not real

On the otherside, on the otherside
Shit's always better on the otherside
On the otherside, on the otherside
There's nothing over there on the otherside

Now my friend's no longer here
I still remember his words so clear
Do me a favor and don't look back
Look up around and see what you have
