This song is about a relationship between a guy and a girl (wow, like that's never been done before...)
What probably has NOT been done before is using the "other side" for something other than heaven.
The 2 people are having some relationship troubles. "You're cryin' me a river but I got to get across " describes how the girl is putting up an emoitional wall and closing him out. He wants to get past her "wall" and reconcile with her. Hence he must get to the "other side" of her river of tears, or 'wall'.
