By Your Side
FIVE NEW OLD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold your head been high
I'll be by your side
Singing la la la

I've never had good timing
And lost what I mean to say
I could see the moment
That be slipping through my hand
Oh oh oh oh
Can't you see it
Caught up in an endless circle
Oh oh oh oh
Can't you see it
A man who lost a key

I want to see you more than ever
I want to see

Hold your head been high
I'll be by your side
Singing la la la

It might happen
Sometimes people make you blind
Distracted by the noise
Just trying to make sense

I want to see you more than ever
I want to see

Hold your head been high
I'll be by your side
Singing la la la

I know it's getting better
You will find the way
it's not like you to stand around
Hold your head been high

Just take it slow
You don't have to break your bones to change yourself
when you don't see the light

Just take it slow
When you're down just hold on to me

I want to see you more than ever
I want to see
I want to see you more than ever
I want to see

Hold your head been high
I'll be by your side
Singing la la la

I know it's getting better
You will find the way
it's not like you to stand around
Hold your head been high





I want to see you more than ever

こうゆうバンドがどんどん人気になって欲しい

christopher elliott

和服着たり日本文化ごり押しせず、西洋ポップ圏の王道を突っ走ってくれるビジュアルの信念貫いてくる感じが毎回たまりませんな。最高!

bananan

今日このバンドを知った!めちゃくちゃいいね!他の動画のコメントじゃ海外バンドのマネだと言われてたりするけど、俺は日本人がこういうジャンルの音楽をこのクオリティで表現できるということが単純に嬉しいし興奮する。確かに似てるかもしれないけど日本の音楽シーンにとっては刺激になるだろうしポジティブな要素の方が全然多いと思う。邦楽の変化の途上なんだ。面白いバンドがいっぱい出てきてるなマジで!
