Said it too late, said it too soft To touch them is all I want Don't mean the skin, don't mean the face I do mean in that unseen place I'm with a girl that I don't know She said "I like you 'cause you got some soul" That's just the blues I learned from the English dudes It's nice to hear that I'm not cold as ice The only reason that I don't die Is I won't see you on the other side The only reason that I don't die Is I won't see you on the other side As we talked I felt a test Like Ulysses pit his strength at last Against a viper and a siren And like him, I'll never break and run You're trying hard to bring me down I am the one who decides to be found On the island at last I'm free I feel the love, and I'm happy The only reason that I don't die Is I won't see you on the other side The only reason that I don't die Is I won't see you on the other side
