Sideline Lyrics by Ian Be

the other side

2020

[Verse 1]
Cheap wine on a Friday night
Your love makes me feel so nice
Never judgement, only love
Between the both of us
I like to overthink sometimes
You help to slow down time
Comfort inside your arms
Safety inside your heart
Mania inside my head
But, you calmed it all when you said

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Baby don't you know, all o' them tears gon' come and go
Baby you just gotta make up your mind
That every little thing is gonna be alright

[Chorus]
But
It’s just like I’m just standing
Watching my life pass me by
It’s like I’m just standing
Standing on the sidelines
I can hear them chanting
Screaming from the sidelines
I can hear myself panting
When I’m running out of time
Is this even my life?
'Cause I’m living on the Sideline

[Verse 2]
Fine wine on a Saturday night
Cheers under the kitchen light
We dance, socks slide on the tile
The best I have felt in a while
The fine line that you just crossed
Friends to love comes at a cost
You take all my baggage and crazy
You match it, we'll dance til we're eighty
The warmth within our embrace
Make me smile, could never be replaced

The other side

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Imagine we hold on forever, never let each other go
Imagine a world like that
Imagine

[Chorus]
But
It’s just like I’m just standing
Watching my life pass me by
It’s like I’m just standing
Standing on the sidelines
I can hear them chanting
Screaming from the sidelines
I can hear myself panting
When I’m running out of time
Is this even my life?
'Cause I’m living on the Sideline

[Bridge]
You help me to live in the moment
You're why I am not lonely (never alone)
The reason I own it (bitch I own it)
The voice of my omens (good omens)
You have my whole beating heart
Helped me wash off the scars (scarred heart)
Think of you when I look at the stars (stars)
Should have been this close from the start (yes we should) (and we could) (from the start)

[Final Chorus]
It was like I was just standing
Watching my life pass me by
Standing on the sidelines
I could hear them chanting
Screaming from the sidelines
I could hear myself panting
When I’m running out of time
Was that even my life?
'Cause I was living on the Sideline
Now, I'm living in real time
Present, centred and focused
No longer on the Sideline
Not even begging for a lifeline
Stepped over the finish line
And broke through the Sideline
Sideline
Sideline
Sideline
