by your side
Cozy James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little town by the sea
It's always been waiting for me
As I travelled through the night
Tryna make it back to your side
It's been so long this feels just like a dream
See you in the night when I close my eyes
Pray I make it home one more time
Sweet home of mine you've always been on my mind
Ever since I said good bye
Never let them see me cry
After all of this time
Pushing this body of mine
Hope that fate is on my side
Pushing me from behind

Keep moving till I see the tides
Won't stop until I'm by your side
The time ain't gon wait for me
Through the pain and struggle I keep weathering yeah
Took a wrong turn on the way
Keep on pushing another day
Pushing through my enemies
Make it home to the sea

Sneaking out through the back door
Catching those waves crawling up the sea shore
Everything I wanted couldn't ask for more
I'd be here forever if you asked me before
But now I'm grown and left all my friends behind
To leave or not to leave wish I could rewind
Oh maybe I still got some time
Shoulda stayed
Never gone away
Things went astray
All I got now is this memory of mine
back to the days
Things were okay
Now I just pray
Pray I get to see you one more time

Keep moving till I see the tides
Won't stop until I'm by your side
The time ain't gon wait for me
Through the pain and struggle I keep weathering yeah
Took a wrong turn on the way
Keep on pushing another day
Pushing through my enemies
Make it home to the sea

Too long
Since I last saw you
Where did I go wrong
What has this come to
I know it's my fault but I wish that I knew how to make do
Until I reach you





Wanna get you out of my mind yeah
