by your side
the lighter side Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a soft little ringin' in my ear
Callin' out my name
It's a soft, sweet sound that I love to hear
Any time of day
So don't hold back when you need me near,
'Cause I need you too

I love it when clouds bring a rainy day

'Cause it brings me back to you

Every sleepless night
Every time you cry
Always by your side
I'll come runnin'

Don't have to go alone
It's not a lonely road
You should always know that
I'll come running

There's a song in me that needs your voice
A heart that needs your love
And I've been out there on my own
It'll never be enough
So I won't lie I won't deny if you're not here with me
I'll be a wanted man with an empty gun, a sailor lost at sea

Every sleepless night
Every time you cry
Always by your side
And I'll come runnin'

Don't have to go alone
It's not a lonely road
You should always know that I'll come runnin'

Baby, you're not a burden
I want every part,
Unlock your heart
I'm forever here to stay

Every sleepless night
Every time you cry
Always by your side
And I'll come runnin'

Don't have to go alone
It's not a lonely road
You should always know that I'll come runnin'

Every sleepless night
Every time you cry
Always by your side
And I'll come runnin'

Don't have to go alone

It's not a lonely road
You should always know that I'll come runnin'
