Sweeter On The Other Side

Verse

Porch light flickered on the gravel drive

Your truck door creaked at half past nine

You brought me peaches in a paper sack

Said the orchard's closing, might not come back

I laughed too loud, you laughed right back

And something shifted on that dusty track

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm counting all the ways

That a stranger turns to stay

What if letting go's the only way to climb

Chorus

It's sweeter on the other side

Of everything I left behind

The empty roads, the closing doors

They led me straight to yours

Every ending that made me cry

Was just the sun about to rise

So I'll take the bruise, I'll take the ride

It's sweeter on the other side

Verse

You showed me scars along your arm

Said this is how I learned to feel the storm

We split a coffee, cold by two

I found a home in talking to you

The waitress cleared our plates away

But we still had so much left to say

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm counting all the ways

That a stranger turns to stay

What if letting go's the only way to climb

Chorus

It's sweeter on the other side

Of everything I left behind

The empty roads, the closing doors

They led me straight to yours

Every ending that made me cry

Was just the sun about to rise

So I'll take the bruise, I'll take the ride

It's sweeter on the other side

Bridge

Maybe heartbreak's just a compass

Pointing where the good things wait

Every door that shut behind me

Swung this porch light toward your gate

I used to run from bitter mornings

Now I'm leaning into grace

Chorus

It's sweeter on the other side

Of everything I left behind

The empty roads, the closing doors

They led me straight to yours

Every ending that made me cry

Was just the sun about to rise

So I'll take the bruise, I'll take the ride

It's sweeter on the other side

With you, it's sweeter on the other side
