[Verse 1]
Ione Claire, write my name
Old enough to wonder why
Elijah Bear, ain't all rain
Old enough to wonder why
Abigail, bite my nails (Bite my nails, bite my nails)
Old enough to wonder why
Nothing here but my mind
Old enough to wonder why (Old enough to wonder why)

[Chorus]
Come and meet me on the east side (East side)
Come and meet me on the west side (West side)
Come and meet me on the east side (East side)
Come and meet me on the west side (West side)

[Verse 2]
Hope in here, 'hind my hands ('Hind my hands, 'hind my hands)
Old enough to wonder why (Old enough to wonder why)
— take your name
Old enough to wonder why (Old enough to wonder why)
Spirit here, you're right in my way (Right in my way, right in my way)
Old enough to wonder why
Hold it here under my tongue (Under my tongue, under my tongue)
Old enough to wonder why
[Chorus]
Come and meet me on the east side (East side)
Come and meet me on the west side (West side)
Come and meet me on the east side (East side)
Come and meet me on the west side (West side)
