The Good Side

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 recognise
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

That I sympathise
And I recognise
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 recognise
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
