by your side
Archie Summers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've waited here so patiently
He's the one I want to be
The one that's by your side
I can't call you mine
The one that's by your side
I can't call you mine
I can't call you mine
Doesn't feel quite like your relief
I find it hard to sit this still
You've left another hole to fill
I hear you well and I won't pretend
That every other word held ill intent
I hear you well and I won't pretend
That every other word had grim intent
Just answer me
I've waited here so patiently
He's the one I want to be
The one that's by your side
I can't call you mine
The one that's by your side
I can't call you mine
I can't call you mine
Every little thing you see I do
Never enough to pull us through
Bitter and waiting for your step
It never works, I know what's next
I hear you well and I won't pretend
That every other word held ill intent
I hear you well and I won't pretend
That every other word had grim intent
I did what was asked of me
There's not much else distracting me
You see what you want to see
I see you all the time
I did what was asked of me
I'm not the man I planned to be
You see what you want to see
I see you all the time
I'll never cross your mind
I see you all the time
I'll never cross your mind
Never cross your mind
I see you all the time
Never cross your mind
Never cross your mind
Archie Summers's "By Your Side" tells the story of a person who is in love with someone who is in a relationship with someone else. The song's first verse and chorus reveal the singer's frustration and heartache. The individual questions why their love interest won't answer their calls or admit their love for them. They long to be with them and express that they cannot call them "mine."
In the second verse, we see the singer's desperation grow, as they observe their love interest closely but feel that their feelings are not reciprocated. They feel that every little thing they do is not enough to make them choose them over their current partner. The bridge reveals that the singer has done what was asked of them and they see their love interest all the time, but they are not the person that their love interest wants. In the end, they come to the realization that they will never cross their love interest's mind.
"By Your Side" is a poignant tale of unrequited love and the pain of longing for someone who cannot be theirs. The song's haunting melody and introspective lyrics make it a standout track that listeners can connect with emotionally.

Why can't you just sing to me
I've waited here so patiently
Is the one I want to be
The one that's by your side
