I’ve been sitting here for way too long
It’s time that I was moving on
I know that there’s a better way
I think I’m going to make a change
So come along now to where I’m going

Take me to the other side
‘Cause I need something better
Take me to the other side
‘Cause I want to live forever

One thing that’s for sure I know
This won’t be an easy road
Let me ask before I leave
Won’t you come along with me

So come along now to where I’m going
Come along now to where I’m going

Take me to the other side
Take me to the other side
Take me to the other side
‘Cause I want to live forever
Live forever
Take me to the other side

Behind the Song:
“ ‘Otherside’ is a pretty unique track for us. It’s kind of a jam song. This is exactly what I wanted this song to be and I knew it could be. Mac started doing his ‘Mac thing’ and coming up with a great melody and even came up with the idea of ‘take me to the other side.’ It’s a very positive, upbeat thing. As Christians the idea of eternity is something that we should be excited about. It’s pretty clear already that this song is going to be a staple in our live shows. – Tai Anderson (Third Day)
