Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still dark yeah it's hard to see
Look over my shoulder
I really thought that I held you tonight
I dream about you
Every night it's true
I can't help it, you
Are on my mind when I can't sleep
Need a little time to adjust to the fact that I'm on my own
Spending all my nights all alone in my bed thinking about you
So why?
Why does it always feel like I'm by your side?
By your side
Let me lay by your side
It's alright
I can make it fine
Let me lay by your side
It's alright
Promise we'll be fine, fine, fine
Yeah, yeah
Lay by your side
Yeah, yeah
Let me lay by your side
I wake up in the morning
The sun isn't rising
It's raining all day, all night
Is this a sign?
And I don't know what to do
I need help from you
I need help from you
You, you, you, you
Need a little time to adjust to the fact that I'm on my own
Spending all my nights all alone in my bed thinking about you
So why?
Why does it always feel like I'm by your side?
By your side
Let me lay by your side
It's alright
I can make it fine
Let me lay by your side
It's alright
Promise we'll be fine, fine, fine
