Side by Side Lyrics by Declan Gaffney

Enfant Terrible

2023

And caught mad love
To catch it up
The early taste of pain

Right now behind me
They're so delighting
I can't believe man changed

I wish my ego would be happy with less but now I'm thirsty, aye

The veil has lifted
Things have drifted
Really now insane

I got lost in the smoke screen
Stayed here in my lane

But, I missed out on the trouble
I need more time

Why you always have to beat man down?

You could be by my side again
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)
Ay-a-a-a
(Sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)
You could be by my side again
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay, sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)
By my side again
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)
Ay-a-a-a
(Sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)
Could be by my side again
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay, sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)

The sound and fury
Judge and jury
Everything to prove

Desensitised and hypnotised
There's no one left to lose

I wish your ego could be happy with less but now you've cursed me, aye

The veil has lifted
Things have drifted
How am I to blame?

You got lost in your own dream
I stayed here in my lane

I missed out on the trouble
I need more time

Why'd you always make me feel like clown?
Why'd you make me feel like clown?
Why'd you have to beat man down?

We could be side by side agaaaiiin
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)
Yea-e-yeah
(Sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)
Side by side again
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay, sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)
Side by side agaaaiiin
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)
Ay-e-ay
(Sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)
Side by side again
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)
Oh-ay
(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)
Can I lay?

(Instrumental)

[Hold me light]
[Day]

(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay, sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)

[Stayed in my lane]

(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay, sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)

(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay, sha-lee-la-la-lo-lay)

[But, I missed out on the trouble, I need more time]

(Sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay, sha-la-la-la-lee-la-lay)
