by your side
Argyle Singh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was the one king
With no one to run with
A little apart, off in the dark, nowhere the sun sets
You were the one to
Easy to talk to you

Strange to the world that knows nothing at all
About us, but
Show me only your trust

Hold out your hand
I'll hold out mine
So rest your head and rest your mind
'Cause we're taking on
From what's left behind
And I will be by your side

Take enough chances
It's some kind of magic
I can see you, you can see me, between the branches
I feel my heart beat right up to my teeth
The look in your eyes gives me one thing to breathe

Hold out your hand
And I'll hold out mine
So rest your head and rest your mind
'Cause we're taking on
From what's left behind
When morning comes
I will be right
By your side
By your side

Come with me, talk the night
We'll watch the horizon light
Turn our troubles away with the light





Hold out your hand
And I'll hold out mine
