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 sympathize, and I recognize And baby, I apologize That I got the good side The good side of things I got the good side of life (good side of life) Traveled the universe twice (the universe twice) So many thoughts I wanted to share But I didn't call 'cause 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 some day I hope that you'll understand I sympathize, and I recognize And baby, I apologize 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 sympathize, and I recognize And baby, I apologize That I got the good side The good side of things Sympathize, recognize Apologize That I got the good side The good side of things
