Truth of the matter is I'm complicated You're as straight as they come You go 'bout your day baby While I hide from the sun It's better if you don't understand Cause you won't know what it's like Until you try You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side And you, all you gotta do is cross the line I could wait a whole lifetime But you just gotta decide You know I I'll be waiting on the other, waiting on the other side We would live forever Who could ask for more You could die if you wanted But baby what for It's better if you don't understand And you won't know what it's like Until you try You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side And you, all you gotta do is cross the line I could wait a whole lifetime But you just gotta decide You know I I'll be waiting on the other, waiting on the other side If they say life's a dream Call this insomnia Cause this ain't Wonderland It darn sure ain't Narnia And once you cross the line You can't change your mind Yeah I'm a monster But I'm no Frankenstein And quite frankly I've been feeling insane in between my eyes I really can't explain what I feel inside If you knew what I was you's would run and hide Many have tried to go into the night Cross over the line and come back alive But that's the price we payin' when we living on the other side You know I, I'll be waiting on the other side And you, all you gotta do is cross the line I could wait a whole lifetime But you just gotta decide You know I I'll be waiting on the other, waiting on the other side (Bruno Mars)
