Side by Side
Sofia Wylie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you need somebody I will be somebody
When you need somebody I will be somebody
Side by side, got me anytime
Side by side like...
Ohhhhh...

Crawling through the dark screaming, "No surrender!"
With an army marching in our souls
There′s a fire in our hearts
When we come together
To get us through the highs and lows

Some days feel like they bend and break
But we'll rebuild the way
A walking barricade
Yeah, we got it! (Roll call!)
We′re iconic

When you feel alone like you ain't got nobody
Nothing feels like home, but you keep on knocking
You ain't on your own, yeah, I swear you got me
When you need somebody...

When you need somebody I will be somebody
When you need somebody I will be somebody
Side by side, got me anytime
Side by side like...
Ohhhhh, hey!

When you need somebody I will be somebody
When you need somebody I will be somebody
Side by side, got me anytime
Side by side like...
Ohhhhh, hey!

We′ve all got a way of getting through the battles
The ones that we don′t say out loud
Don't you be afraid of what′s behind the shadows
'Cause I′ll be there to break them down

Some days you need a hurricane
To wash it all away
We're dancing in the rain
Just believe it (rise up) if you feel it

When you′re all alone and you ain't got nobody
Walking through the halls of an empty party
You ain't on your own, yeah, I swear you got me
When you need somebody...

When you need somebody I will be somebody
When you need somebody I will be somebody
Side by side, got me anytime
Side by side like...
Ohhhhh, hey!

When you need somebody I will be somebody
When you need somebody I will be somebody
Side by side, got me anytime
Side by side like...
Ohhhhh!

When the road feels like it′s broken
When the open doors keep closing
I′ll be there, no, there's no backing down, no, no
We′re the waves that break the ocean
Spend our time lost in slow motion
Sometimes we get lost just to be found, oh

(Hey!)
When you need somebody I will be somebody
When you need somebody I will be somebody
Side by side, got me anytime
Side by side like...
Ohhhhh, hey!

When you need somebody I will be somebody
When you need somebody I will be somebody
Side by side, got me anytime




Side by side like...
Ohhhhh!
