I got the good side of things

Left you with both of the rings

My fingers danced

And swayed in the breeze

The change in the wind took you down to your knees

 

I got the good side of you

Sent it out into the blue

The people danced

To the sound of your heart

The world sang along to it falling apart

 

But I sympathise

And I recognize

And baby, I apologise

That I got the good side

The good side of things

 

I got the good side of life

Travelled the universe twice

So many thoughts I wanted to share

But I didn't call because it wouldn't be fair

 

Then I got the good side of new

Found arms to fall right into

I know how it looked

It wasn't the plan

And someday I hope that you'll understand

 

I sympathise

And I recognize

And baby, I apologise

That I got the good side

The good side of things

 

I'm sure we'll meet in the spring

And catch up on everything

I'll say I'm proud of all that you've done

You taught me the ropes, and you taught me to love

 

But I sympathise

And I recognize

And baby, I apologise

That I got the good side

The good side of things

 

Sympathise

Recognise

Apologise

That I got the good side

The good side of things.
