By My Side
Tyler Shaw Lyrics

I woke up today
The singer starts the song thinking of the person he loves and wants to express his feelings to them.

Thinking of you
The singer has someone specific in mind and that person is the subject of his thoughts.

Think that I know what I want to say
The singer is confident that he knows what he wants to say to the person he loves.

Gonna tell you tonight
The singer intends to communicate his feelings to the person he loves tonight.

It's you on my mind
The person the singer is thinking of is constantly on his mind.

And I can hardly wait
The singer is excited to tell the person he loves how he feels and can hardly contain his anticipation.

Count down
The singer is mentally preparing himself as he counts down to the moment when he can express his feelings.

Breath in and out
The singer is trying to calm himself down by taking deep breaths before speaking his emotions.

Listen to me now
The singer is asking the person he loves to listen carefully to what he is about to say.

Finally
The moment the singer has been waiting for has finally arrived when he can express his love.

You will see
Once the person he loves hears what he has to say, they will understand how he feels.

That if these walls come crashing down
The singer is expressing his willingness to withstand any obstacles that life may throw their way.

And the rain starts pouring in
The singer is using a metaphor here to describe a difficult situation.

And if the stars are burning out
The singer is using another metaphor to describe a scenario where the universe is falling apart.

You know that I can get through anything
The singer is assuring that he will be there with the person he loves, no matter what happens.

If I've got you
The person he loves is the most important thing to him and will help him endure any hardship.

By my side, by my side
The singer wants to emphasize that having the person he loves by his side is his biggest strength.

I get out of the car
The singer has arrived at the person he loves place and is getting out of the car to express his feelings.

Walk up to your door
The person he loves is at home and the singer is approaching their door to speak his mind.

Running the words through my head once more
The singer wants to make sure he says everything correctly, so he is going over his words one more time in his head.

I hope that it sounds
The singer is nervous and hoping that what he says sounds good.

As good as it feels
The singer's feelings are strong and he wants the words to match the strength of his emotions.

Can you see what I can see
The singer wants the person he loves to see the world through his eyes and understand his feelings.

Got my heart out on my sleeve
The singer is being honest and open about his emotions, baring his heart for the person he loves to see.

And I'm telling you it's not easy
The singer is admitting that expressing his feelings is not an easy thing to do.

I know you're the one for me
The singer is sure that the person he loves is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Wishing you and I can be...
The singer is expressing his hopes for a future with the person he loves.

And I'm asking you
The singer is requesting an answer from the person he loves.

Do you fell it at all?
The singer is asking if the person he loves also feels the same way he does.

OoooOOOOooohhh...
This is a vocalization that expresses the singer's emotions.

'I've got you, I've got you...
The singer repeats the phrase to emphasize that the person he loves is important to him and that they are together.
