Eli5, how does the moon cause a bulge in the tides on both sides of the planet?

Question

Edit to clarify: I understand the moons gravity pulls on the water on the side of the earth that’s closest to it. But there’s also a bulge on the opposite side of the earth and I don’t understand how that second bulge happens.
