[Verse 1]
I walk down the sunny side of the street
I don’t stray from my path, noticing the details
And finding myself on that side is nothing surprising
Because my mother used to say: "Son, walk on the shady side"
[Verse 2]
I walk without hurry, and the sun is hot
I don’t care if they shout at me or call me from across
They watch me and point their finger
And I turn my head and pretend I don’t see them
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But it doesn’t bother me, that behavior
I’ve been on that side, and I can understand
[Verse 3]
I walk while carrying my story in my backpack
And sometimes I can’t see with so much light blinding me
And if I don’t want them to find out I’m lost in thought
I put on my sunglasses and dive into my world
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I pick a song and play it
And turn up the volume on my hеadphones
[Chorus]
And though I’m not afraid to pass or return
I know I don’t want to cross again
The linе is right there, I can feel it
But the sun hits my face, and it feels good this way
I know where I am, I know where I’m going
But I recognize how weak I am
Better not insist on reliving
In places where I’ve been happy
[Verse 4]
I walk down the sunny side of the street
And hope this time my intuition doesn’t fail me
And out of the corner of my eye, I sometimes glance at the shady side
But I better not look too much, or I’ll stray
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But even though those who know tell me no
I know very well that there’s a dark side to the sun
[Chorus]
And though I’m not afraid to pass or return
I know I don’t want to cross again
The line is right there, I can feel it
But the sun hits my face, and it feels good this way
I know where I am, I know where I’m going
But I recognize how weak I am
Better not insist on reliving
In places where I’ve been happy
[Solo]
[Bridge]
(Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
No, no, no, no, no, no...)
[Chorus]
And though I’m not afraid to pass or return
I know I don’t want to cross again
The line is right there, I can feel it
But the sun hits my face, and it feels good this way
I know where I am, I know where I’m going
But I recognize how weak I am
Better not insist on reliving
In places where I’ve been happy
