by your side
Gill Chang & Rahn Harper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think there′s something you're hiding
But I′m along for the ride
I can be the one you can fight, and
We both said things we don't mean
I don't know what′s gotten into me
But even though we fight I′ll still be by your side
Feel like I've been stretched so thin, but still I try to do it all
I will do my best to catch you every time you fall
Feel like I′ve been stretched so thin, but still I try to do it all
And all of your troubles, you've gotta
Let ′em go, let 'em go
Let ′em go, let 'em go now
And if you love somebody, you've better
Let ′em know, let ′em know
Let 'em know, let ′em know now
And we've both said things we don′t mean
I don't know what′s gotten into me
But even though we fight I'll still be by your side
I'ma do my best to catch you every time you fall
Feel like I′ve been stretched so thin, but still I try to do it all
I′ma do my best to catch you every time you fall
Feel like I've been stretched so thin, but still I try to do it all
Shawty nothing can break apart this love we got won′t fail us
Out of all the girls I've ever met you are the fairest
And all of your jokes, you′ve gotta
Let 'em go, let ′em go
Let 'em go, let 'em go now
And if you love somebody, you′ve better
Let ′em know, let 'em know
Let ′em know, let 'em know now
And all of your troubles, you′ve gotta
Let 'em go, let ′em go
Let 'em go, let 'em go now
And if you love somebody, you′ve better
Let ′em know, let 'em know
Let ′em know, let 'em know now
The lyrics of "By Your Side" by Gill Chang & Rahn Harper encapsulate the ups and downs of a relationship, acknowledging its shaky moments while ultimately reaffirming the bond that keeps the two together. The first verse sets the stage for this, with Harper admitting that there are times where he feels like his partner is holding something back from him. Nevertheless, he remains committed to being there for them no matter what, even though they both have said things they don't mean in the heat of the moment. This sentiment is reinforced with the chorus, where Harper promises to catch his partner every time they fall, even when he feels like he's "stretched so thin."
The second verse contains a more general message of letting go of troubles and expressing love to those who deserve it. The line, "Shawty nothing can break apart this love we got won't fail us," suggests that even though the relationship may experience bumps in the road, its foundation is strong enough to withstand them. The chorus is repeated with slight variations, driving home the message of loyalty and support.
Overall, "By Your Side" is a song about the value of sticking with someone through thick and thin, recognizing that relationships aren't always easy, but they are worth fighting for.
