Side by Side Lyrics by Caravan

Cool Water

1994

You could, with a smile, make it so that I feel better
Cos you make the clouds that surround me disappear
If I had been somebody else, not seen for myself
Would you have tried to tell me at all?
I could never hide the hurt I feel inside
When I saw you there, lost in his arms

In many ways, it seems I've been here
In my dreams before now
And the strength of deceit
Still appalls me more than the fear
But we've got much more than the rest
A chance to start afresh
Knowing at least we'll have tried if we fail
Common sense dictates, avoid your past mistakes
And don't look back, you'll fall off the rails

Side by side from now on
Side by side from now on
Taking the world off your shoulders
Living the life in your heart
Ooh don't try to deceive
You'll tear it apart

Heaven knows why time is passing by slowly
But if you think he's the best friend
That there could ever be on our side
So it's farewell to all the past
Build something to last
So long, all your nighttimes of fear
The worst will never come as long as we are one
And don't invite temptation here

Side by side from now on
Side by side from now on
Taking the world off your shoulders
Living the life in your heart
Ooh don't try to deceive
You'll tear it apart
