[Intro]
Stand by my side
When you know that I’m not around
Suddenly I can’t see your house
Stand by my side
When you know that I’m not around
Suddenly I can’t see your house
And I’m never meant to be found
[Verse 1]
I know my trouble’s with me
I’m looking down at my hands as they started writing different
I keep my distance and back to the wall but see it clearly
My feet ain’t touching the floor and my shadow started twisting
I take a second then run for the door
Keeping you there in my head
All of the sudden it’s me and the road
I couldn’t see you again
[Chorus]
Stand by my side
When you know that I’m not around
Suddenly I can’t see your house
And I’m never meant to be found
Stand by my side
When you know that I’m not around
Suddenly I can’t see your house
And I’m never meant to be found
[Verse 2]
I know my troubles got me
And man I can’t see a thing for the life it’s taking from me
I keep my hands to my chest and beg if I could be dipping only then to see my reflection in the hole I was digging
My walkman skips to the sound of your voice that’s telling me
Grabbing my hand as I hear the lighting ahead of me
I stood in front of myself and my vision started clearing only then to see my reflection was the voice I was hearing
[Pre-Chorus]
(Stand by my side)
Am I never meant to be found
If you stand by my side
Then I’m never meant to be found
[Chorus]
Stand by my side
When you know that I’m not around
Suddenly I can’t see your house
And I’m never meant to be found
Stand by my side
When you know that I’m not around
Suddenly I can’t see your house
And I’m never meant to be found
[Post-Chorus]
I take a second then run for the door
Keeping you there in my head
All of a sudden it’s me in the road
I couldn’t see you again
I take a second then run for the door
Keeping you there in my head
All of the sudden it’s me and the road
I couldn’t see you again
[Outro]
After the night that you told me to quit
Smoking when I should stay focused and well
And I tried if I gave damn if I lived
I know now that there's more to me than I felt
And out to my friends that would never be real
You all wonder why we never link anymore
And how could I stay when you do that to him?
Cold as you lay next to me on your phone
