Aside Lyrics by Bayside

Hopelessly Devoted To You: 30th Anniversary

2024

[Verse 1]
Measure me in metered lines
And one decisive stare
The time it takes to get from here to there
My ribs that show through t-shirts
And these shoes I got for free
I'm uncounseled
I'm lonely
I am so much better than I used to be

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Terrified of telephones and shopping malls and knives
And drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy
In love with love and lousy poetry

[Chorus]
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay

[Bridge]
Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty
Armed with every precious failure and amateur cartography
I'm breathing deep before
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor

[Chorus]
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play

[Outro]
But it feels okay
And I'm leaving with goodbye
And I'm losing but I'll try
With the last ways left to remember, sing
My imperfect offering
