by your side
Soma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to close my eyes and sleep this world away
I'd like to close my eyes and get a minute from the pain
All the rain all the cold
All the things that never hold
All the rain all the cold
I could live in a land of gold
If I had you by my side
Would things be alright
Can crazy people dream about those movie scenes
Where the weird guy gets the girl
In his imperfect world
Where everything works out
But here there's no help
I'd like to be in that part of life where the days are fun
I'd like to be in that part of life where the days don't blend into one
I'd like to have a lot of things most of all you
I'd like to have a lot of things most of all you
If I had you by my side
Would things be alright
Can crazy people dream about those movie scenes
Where the weird guy gets the girl
In his imperfect world
Where everything works out
But here there's no help
Theres no consolation
In the words given to me
By someone who is not you
Even if they'd die for me
There is no salvation
From the ones who flock to me
Dead and cold are the bones that wrap themselves round me
If I had you by my side
I know things would be alright
I wouldn't have to dream
About these silly Hollywood scenes
I'd be that weird guy
Underneath a clear blue sky
And some passer by would say
That boy doesn't feel the rain
If I had you by my side
I know things would be alright
If I had you by my side
If I had you by my side
If I had you by my side
I know things would be alright




If I had you by my side
If I had you by my side
