Beside You
Von Hertzen Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words: Mikko von Hertzen
Honey please forgive me what i've done
I was losing my right mind today
And what i said was wrong and stupid
Yet it cannot be undone
And i know that we can find a way
C'mon now i can't get sleep
If you're pointing that at me
Put it down and let me be
Beside you
All i want to do is sleep, so please let me be
Okay let's have it in your way
So you want to see me out of bed
And on my knees until you free me
Getting tired of this game
I get up thinking all the same
As long as it will end this play of shame
You can kill me when i sleep
If i'm not the one to keep
Beside you
And it's very time the same things
All over and over again
- a circle with no end
C'mon now please tell me
Tell me how you feel
The confessions that you need
All i want to do is sleep
I really need some sleep
I really need to be
Beside you
The Von Hertzen Brothers' song "Beside You" is a plea for forgiveness and understanding in a relationship that has reached a breaking point. The opening lyrics immediately establish a sense of regret on behalf of the singer, who asks his partner for forgiveness for his actions that day. He acknowledges that what he said was "wrong and stupid," but suggests that there is a way for the two of them to "sort this out" without any violence or escalation.
The most striking aspect of the song, both musically and lyrically, is the repeated refrain of "Beside You." As the singer tries to explain himself and beg for forgiveness, he repeatedly returns to this phrase, emphasizing his desire to be close to his partner and to find a resolution that allows them to stay together. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the tension between them is still high, and that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to salvage the relationship - "Okay let's have it in your way / So you want to see me out of bed / And on my knees until you free me." By the end of the song, it's unclear whether their problems have been resolved, but the singer's desire to be "Beside You" remains constant.

Honey please forgive me what i've done
I'm sorry for my actions and I'm asking for your forgiveness
I was losing my right mind today
I was not thinking clearly or logically
And what i said was wrong and stupid
My words were incorrect or inappropriate and lacked good judgment
Yet it cannot be undone
My actions and words cannot be taken back or reversed
And i know that we can find a way
I believe that we can come to a resolution
To sort this out without that silver gun
We can work this out without resorting to violence or extreme measures
C'mon now i can't get sleep
I am unable to rest or relax
If you're pointing that at me
If you are threatening me in any way
Put it down and let me be
Stop the threatening behavior and allow me to have peace
Beside you
I want to be close to you, but in a peaceful manner
Okay let's have it in your way
I agree to your terms or demands
So you want to see me out of bed
You want me to get out of bed
And on my knees until you free me
You want me to beg for my freedom or forgiveness
Getting tired of this game
I am becoming fed up with this situation
I get up thinking all the same
I wake up with the same thoughts and worries on my mind
As long as it will end this play of shame
If this will bring an end to our shameful situation
You can kill me when i sleep
I am willing to sacrifice myself if it will bring peace
If i'm not the one to keep
If you do not want me in your life
And it's very time the same things
Our problems keep repeating themselves
All over and over again
Repetitive and cyclic in nature
- a circle with no end
A never-ending cycle of problems
C'mon now please tell me
Please communicate with me
Tell me how you feel
Express your emotions and thoughts to me
The confessions that you need
Anything you need to get off your chest
All i want to do is sleep
I just want to rest and find peace
I really need some sleep
I am exhausted and need to rest
I really need to be
I want to be close to you, but in a peaceful manner
Beside you
I want to be close to you, but in a peaceful manner
