Side Effects
Sir Simon Lyrics

One tiny step for us
The small actions we take can have a significant impact on humanity.

A milestone for mankind
Our actions today can pave the way for future generations to achieve great things.

Call me tomorrow
I am always available to talk to you and help you with your problems.

I am sure that I will find
I am confident in my abilities to solve any challenges that come our way.

A way to tell you one more lie of how it all went wrong
I may have made mistakes, but I will always try to hide them from you and continue pretending that everything is perfect.

And there's nothing there for you to sing along
The truth is too painful to share, so I will keep it hidden and pretend that everything is fine.

Last time I spoke to Pete we mutually agreed
Pete and I have discussed and come to an agreement about something important.

There's only one more vacant weekend that we need
We have limited time to achieve our goal and need to make the most of it.

Go ahead and call the cops, I've been killing too much time
I have wasted too much time on meaningless things and am willing to face the consequences of my actions.

I give up, now let the sanction fit the crime
I accept the punishment for my mistakes and acknowledge the need to make amends.

And the planet keeps on spinning while we sleep away the years
Time moves forward regardless of our actions or inactions, and we need to make the most of the time we have.

One last careful look at the mirror
We need to reflect on our actions and how they have led us to where we are today.

These broken bones and fractured hearts, these empty cans of beer
The physical and emotional scars we carry are a result of the choices we have made and the challenges we have faced.

Are just side effects of a bigger idea
These challenges are a part of a larger plan or purpose that we may not fully understand.

I found the answer to your song and made a plan
I have figured out a solution to your problem and have a strategy in place to address it.

It's round the corner in the backseat of a van
The solution is close by and within reach, but we need to be careful in how we approach it.

So meet me at the bar, bring a marker for the wall
Let's meet in a public place and leave a mark on the wall as a symbol of our achievement.

Just one first line and these dominos will fall
One simple action can set off a chain of events that leads to something much greater.

Last night I dreamt you got your masterpiece all done
I had a vision of you achieving your ultimate goal and becoming a true master of your craft.

You were wrong, it never was the same set of rules for everyone
Your assumption that success follows the same rules for everyone is incorrect, as each individual's journey and path is unique.

A note on moving on with an exclamation mark
We need to move on from past mistakes and look forward to what lies ahead with excitement and optimism.

I woke up after weeks and it went dark
The journey to achieve our goals may be long and difficult, but persistence and determination will get us through the tough times.

So I guess I found the most amazing lines for you to sing
I have discovered the perfect words for you to express your emotions and share your story with the world.

Somewhere near the unified theory of everything
The words are rooted in a universal understanding of the world and the interconnectedness of all things.

These broken arms and fractured hearts, these notebooks full of fear
The struggles we face along the way are a part of the creative process and ultimately lead to growth and stronger resolve.

They're just side effects of a bigger Idea
The challenges and setbacks we experience are ultimately a part of a larger plan or purpose.
