On Your Side
Kari Kimmel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never forgot a word you said
And I hope that I made a difference
In the way that you felt
Pushed and I pulled you closer
To see all the brilliance that I saw
And forgive all the things
You can't see the other side what the world sees
So I′ll try to be the one
Yeah I'll try to be the one
Take a second of breathing
Don't you fall, don′t let it go
Just take a minute of feeling
Don′t forget I'm on your side
All beauty you dreaming
Dont give up, don′t hold it inside
Just take a second of breathing
I am always on your side
Don't worry, I′ll take the fall
Catch you, no matter what the coast
Do whatever it takes till you believe
Hope is [?] everything
Building a bridge to [?] you
All of the things you think you've lost
What the world has taken away from you
Take a second of breathing
Don′t you fall, don't let it go
Just take a minute of feeling
Don't forget I′m on your side
All beauty you dreaming
Dont give up, don′t hold it inside
Just take a second of breathing
I am always on your side
On your side
I won't let you walk away
I′ll be here forever
I won't let you fall apart
I will hold you well (?)
And I′m standing with you
Take a second of breathing
Don't give up, don′t let it go
Just take a minute of feeling
Don't forget I'm on your side
All beauty you dreaming
Dont give up, don′t hold it inside
Just take a second of breathing
I am always on your side, on your side
On your side, on your side
