The Other Side Of The Door by Taylor Swift

Artist: Taylor Swift

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:57

Released: 2008

“The Other Side Of The Door” tells the story of a relationship Taylor has inadvertently ruined and one that she wants back. It’s an extremely dramatic case in which she and her lover have fought, screamed, and miscommunicated with each other. During their argument Taylor said things she now regrets and wishes she could take back. She’s not quite brave enough to really do it, though (apart from in a song), and so she hopes her ex will just see how badly she wants him back.

The Other Side Of The Door lyrics

In the heat of the fight, I walked away
Ignoring words that you were saying trying to make me stay
I said "this time I've had enough"
And you've called a hundred times but I'm not pickin' up
'Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over
But if you look a little closer
I said "leave", but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles, screaming "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, come back for more!
And don't you leave 'cause I know all I need is on
The other side of the door
Me and my stupid pride sittin' here alone
Going through the photographs, staring at the phone
I keep going back over the things we both said
And I remember the slammin' door and all the things that I misread
So, babe, if you know everything tell me why you couldn't see
That when I left I wanted you to chase after me?
I said leave but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles, screaming I'm in love with you
Wait there in the pourin' rain, come back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know all I need is on
The other side of the door
And I scream out the window
"I can't even look at you, I don't need you"
But I do, I do, I do...
I said "there's nothing you can't say
To make this right again"
I mean it, I mean it, what I mean is
I said "leave" but, baby, all I want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles, screaming "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, come back for more!
And don't you leave 'cause I know all I need is on
The other side of the door
With your face and your beautiful eyes
And the conversation with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
You carry me from your car up the stairs
And I broke down cryin', was it worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything, I must confess I need you
