Two Sides Poem by Colin Coplin

There’s two sides to every story
And sometimes there’s three
You can take a trip around the world
To simply cross the street
I know ‘cause that's what happened to me

There's two paths to every journey
And sometimes there's three
You can meet your destiny on the same road
You used to run away
I know 'cause that's what happened to me

Laugh, laugh
Even the jester has to laugh
When everything turns upside down
It sometimes helps to laugh

There’s two sides to every line
And sometimes there’s three
The best laid plans of mice and men
Hurt when they're incomplete
I know ‘cause that's what happened to me

There’s two women in your life
And sometimes there’s three
You can make a wish upon a star
Only to find it land in your street
I know ‘cause it happened to me

Laugh, laugh
Even the jester has to laugh
When everything turns upside down
It sometimes helps to laugh

So which is the bridge to burn
And which is the bridge to keep
No one knows the answer I guess
Until it's all complete

There’s two people fighting for your mind
And sometimes there’s three
Each face you wear at different times
Till one fits comfortably
I know ‘cause that's what happened to me

There’s two sides to every story
And sometimes there’s three
You can take a trip around the world
To simply cross the street
I know 'cause that's what happened to me

Laugh, laugh
Even the jester has to laugh
When everything turns upside down
It sometimes good to laugh
