by your side
PYJÆN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been trading lives and places
Trying to find the silver line
Trading love for second chances
Hoping that its peace you'll find
Tried it your way
But in time you feel like
cll that's fair in love... cin't mine
Seems this love ain't so long lasting
Maybe we're just out of time

You feel like hiding away
Searching for a place of peace to pray
Darling the dark will fade to light
Moon sings to sun it's time we face it
cnd I hope you'll stay right by my side
Shining your light on me
cnd I'll feel like holding you tight
You're all I need my love
We'll be all that we need to stay high

How much longer till we face it
Helpless at the hands in time
Broken hearts with smiling faces
Out of sight is out of mind
I know, things ain't right
We all fall down sometimes
Reset, Open your mind
We're go-ing places
We'll be alright... I know
It's just sometimes I feel like

Feeling like hiding away
Searching for a place of peace to play
Darling the dark will fade to light
Moon sings to sun it's time we fade now
cnd I know you'll be here in my life

Shining your glow on me
cnd we won't feel like saying goodnight
Don't be afraid my love
cnd I know you'll be here, it's alright
Shining your love on me
cnd I'll feel like holding you tight




Don't be so afraid, my love
You're the place I call home in my mind
