First kiss after a bitter fight
First time we see each other after too much time
Something′s gone but we're still here and it′s alright
If this is a drug keep me prescribed
These are the side effects I want for life
I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna move
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it′s time
I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna move
I don't wanna move
First note you played on that midnight piano
Our voices raised, holding the stars in place
The first mile on the first road where we let go
First time we let our hearts race
If this is a drug keep me prescribed
These are the side effects I want for life
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it′s time
I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna move
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna move
I know this moment is following the last one out
Can′t seem to hold it down
But I hope it stays around
I don't wanna move
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it′s time
I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna move
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don′t wanna move
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
I don′t wanna move
In Joseph's song "Side Effects," the singers are expressing their appreciation for a romantic relationship that has endured despite its ups and downs. The lyrics reference several "firsts" that have occurred in their relationship, including a first kiss after a fight, the first time they reunited after being apart for a while, the first time they sang together, and the first time they went on a memorable drive. Although there may be moments of uncertainty and instability, the singers are committed to their relationship and feel that the "side effects" of the intense emotions they experience with each other are worth it.
The song's title is an apt metaphor for the intensity of the emotions expressed in the lyrics. Like a drug with side effects that can be uncomfortable or dangerous, falling in love can be exhilarating but also unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming. The singers acknowledge that they are experiencing a rush of powerful feelings that they may not be able to control, but they are willing to take the risk because they believe that the joy of being with their partner is worth it.
