Always On Your 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.
My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Well, everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But my demons and my angels reappeared
Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought you'd be
to afraid to hear the words i'd always fear
Leavin' you belong the question all these years
But is there some place far away, some place where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally?
This isn't how it's really meant to be?
No, it isn't how it's really meant to be
Well, they say that love is in the air, never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay?
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side
But is there some place far away, some place where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally?
But is this how it's really meant to be?
No, is it how it's really meant to be
Well, if they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay?
If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away?
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life?
When you know that I was always on your side.
