By Your Side

We all know that guy...you know, the one who makes you laugh and the one who you can be yourself around. But he has a girlfriend, so you're stuck in that horribly awkward position of being friends. I wrote this one thinking of all those feelings we'd give voice to if we had the chance... xoxo

Well, I've never laughed as hard as I did that night
The smell of the air is still so fresh in my mind
Sitting in your car at the top of the canyon, looking into the sky
It was the night I almost told you
Do you feel the way I do?

He had to go and say it again
That I'm one of the coolest people he's ever met
But we both knew he was thinking about her
And he says he wants to make me smile more
In a perfect world, things could be the way they were before
But right now, I just can't find the words

Baby, if you'd just take my hand and close your eyes
Maybe you'd finally realize
The girl of your dreams has always been by your side

He had to go and say it again
That I'm one of the coolest people he's ever met
But we both knew he was thinking about her
And he says he wants to make me smile more
In a perfect world, things could be the way they were before
But right now, I just can't find the words

But she's always calling your name
So I'll write it all down in a song for you
In the hopes that some day...

He had to go and say it again
That I'm one of the coolest people he's ever met
But we both knew he was thinking about her
And he says he wants to make me smile more
In a perfect world, things could be the way they were before
But right now, I just can't find the words

He had to go and say it again
That I'm one of the coolest people he's ever met
But we both knew he was thinking about her
And he says he wants to make me smile more
In a perfect world, things could be the way they were before
But right now, I just can't find the words
