By Your Side
The Runaway Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you wanna stay we can stay all night
If you wanna sing we can sing loud
And if you wanna dance yeah we can dance a while
I wanna be by your side, by your side
and that is the only only place I wanna be
I wanna be by your side, by your side
and that is the only only place I wanna be
And if you wanna fall we can fall away
If you wanna fight we'll be fighting
And if you wanna make-up we'll make-up for days
I wanna be by your side, by your side
and that is the only only place I wanna be
I wanna be by your side, by your side
and that is the only only place I wanna be
(So I'm gonna go where you gonna go)
(I played my cards)
(I let 'em show)
(Take me farther down the road)
(I could never make it alone)
I wanna be by your side, by your side
and that is the only only place I wanna be
I wanna be by your side, by your side
and that is the only only place I wanna be
The lyrics of The Runaway Club's song "By Your Side" speak of an unwavering commitment to a loved one, no matter what comes their way. The song's chorus declares that the singer's only desire is to be by this person's side, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. The song starts with a simple suggestion of leaving or staying, singing or dancing, illustrating that the singer is game for anything as long as they are with their loved one. The lyrics then move on to more extreme examples of jumping and falling, fighting and making up. The singer shows that they are ready for any challenge and that they are ready to take on everything that life can throw at them.
The final lines of the song take on an almost pleading tone, with the singer admitting that they played their hand and let it all show. They express their inability to make it alone and ask the person to take them further down the road. These lyrics show that the singer is willing to be vulnerable and to admit that they need this person in their life. "By Your Side" is a declaration of steadfast love and devotion, and a reminder that some bonds are unbreakable.
