Music and Lyrics by Rob Roper
From the 2012 Album, "The Other Side of Nowhere"

lyrics

The Other Side of Nowhere
by Rob Roper © 2010


You walk through this world
but you can't find your song
Doing what you should
not what you want
And the last time I saw you
you were drunk on despair
I'll be waiting on the other side of nowhere.

You talk of your dreams
with a frown and a sneer
You've been living the wrong way
for so many years
And you say that you're trapped
but the answer's right there
Waiting on the other side of nowhere.

Drive down the freeway
where the world is all grey
You like to complain
But you don't like to pray
You could take the next exit
But you don't dare
I'll be waiting on the other side of nowhere.

On the other side
You will be free
You do what you want
And you get want you need
On the other side
Your dreams are your life
And you don't have to wait...
No, you don't have to wait...

You walk through this world
but you can't find your song
Doing what you should
not what you want
If you take the next exit
Well, I'll be there
Waiting on the other side of nowhere.
I'll be waiting on the other side of nowhere.
Waiting on the other side of nowhere.
