On first listen, "On the Other Side" seems to reference the afterlife, a love that even death can't part. But then that seemed too simple of an interpretation to me. I now think it refers to any obstacle or challenge a couple may face. "I'm gonna love you somewhere on the other side" is a reassurance of being able to get through anything together.
There's a lot of faith in this song, despite the unknown. The chorus, with all its "I don't know"s, ironically makes the first verse's "I know you were meant for me" stronger.
It's discovering your love destiny, and gaining conviction from the fact that it's the only part of God's plan you really need to know. Let the rest be a mystery, as long as you have someone to share it with. This would make a great wedding song.
Unfortunately, the online tab for this song sucks. I will not stop until I figure out every last chord.
I find myself quite attracted to this song.
