“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.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 picking up 'Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over But if you look a little closer
[Chorus]
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 pouring rain Come back for more And don't you leave 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door
[Verse 2]
Me and my stupid pride are sitting here alone Going through the photographs, staring at the phone I keep going back over things we both said And I remember the slamming door And all the things that I misread So babe if you know everything Tell me why you couldn't see When I left, I wanted you to chase after me
[Chorus]
Yeah, 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 pouring rain Come back for more And don't you leave 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door
[Bridge]
And I'll scream out the window I can't even look at you I don't need you but I do, I do, I do I say, "There's nothing you can say To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it" What I mean is
[Chorus]
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 pouring rain Come back for more And don't you leave 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door
[Outro]
With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you
