Keep You on My Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everyone sees, but only I know
Nothing to lose, nothing to save to make a home
What if I should make a loss?
Hold up both my hands, my fingers crossed
I don't sleep well, laying low
Never keepin' up, never lettin' go
What if I should look away?
Every human touch will be replayed
Without restraint
Within our veins
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our boat
I never asked to know, I never planned
Till it was swept out of my hand
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the dying light exposed
I never asked to know, I never lied
So I could keep you on my side
We feel the same
Without restraint
We feel the same
Within our veins
Everyone comes, but only I stay
Nowhere to look, nowhere to turn to fall away
What if I should call it off?
Hold up my demands with my heart uncrossed
I don't sleep well, laying low
Never keepin' up, never lettin' go
What if I should let it fade
Every human touch will be replayed
Without restraint
Within our veins
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our boat
I never asked to know, I never planned
Till it was swept out of my hand
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the dying light exposed
I never asked to know, I never lied
So I could keep you on my side
We feel the same
Without restraint
We feel the same
Within our veins
We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we took)
Without restraint
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we took)
We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we took)
Within our veins
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we took)
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our boat
I never asked to know, I never planned
Till it was swept out of my hand
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the dying light exposed
I never asked to know, I never lied
So I could keep you on my side
[Post-chorus]
We feel the same
Without restraint
We feel the same
Within our veins
We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we took)
Without restraint
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we took)
We feel the same
(Payin' back all our chances, payin' back what we took)
Within our veins
(Payin' back all our chances, chances, chances, chances)
(Chances, chances, chances, chances, chances, chances, chances)
