Kiley Dean
I've been thinking about us
Utada
And the things we've been through
Kiley Dean
It's time we got serious
Utada
You know I would like to
Kiley Dean
But we need to work out these issues,
Before they get out of hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I know we've been for sin and arguin'
But the fact is
Unity is a good thing
It took a while for me, but now I see
Utada
Though some will love you,
That same will hate you
Sometimes they'll scream and curse you out
Just try to chill and ride it out
Kiley Dean & Utada
But it's official, when I'm against you
Kiley Dean
I'm in love
Kiley Dean & Utada
And I feel it's wrong, more in spite
I would rather be by your side
I would rather be by your side
I would rather be by your side
I would rather be by your side
Utada
I've been looking at our history
Things ain't changin' but they need to be
Where do we start?
Seems like it's gone too far
Can't we just try to work it out,
Kiley Dean & Utada
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I know we've been for sin and arguin'
Utada (Kiley Dean)
But the truth is
Unity is a good thing
It took some time for me, but now I see
Though some will love you
That same will hate you
Sometimes they'll scream and curse you out
Just try to chill and ride it out (Sometimes I chill and ride it out)
Kiley Dean & Utada
But it's official, when I'm against you
And I feel it's wrong, more in spite
I would rather be by your side
I would rather be by your side
I would rather be by your side
I would rather be by your side
Kiley Dean & Utada
I'm so sorry I treated you so bad
But I didn't realize what a friend I had
I apologize, wish I could take it back
Utada (Kiley Dean)
Though some will love you (Sometimes I loved you)
That same will hate you (Oh yeah)
Sometimes they'll scream and curse you out
Just try to chill and ride it out (Sometimes I chill and ride it out)
Kiley Dean & Utada
But it's official, when I'm against you
And I feel it's wrong, more in spite
I would rather be by your side (x8)
