By My Side Lyrics by Work In Progress

Growing Pains

2024

[Verse 1]
Staring down
I can’t help but think
“Is this all but over now?”
So I hold you
‘Cause it feels like a nightmare
And I need you to pull me down

[PreChorus]
And I don’t care if it’s wrong or right
‘Cause it’s you and I have to fight
To bend, we have every right to defend
This love

[Chorus]
So can you hear me?
‘Cause I’m screaming from the car
Where we first kissed
And can you catch me?
‘Cause I’m falling off the tail end
Of the best
Yes I’m living in the past
And I want it back
Is that too much to ask?

[Verse 2]
Tell me now
Is it better to give up
And run when we hit the ground?
‘Cause I can’t believe for a second
It isn’t you that I’ve been waiting for
All this time, it seems divine
That I should have you by my side

[PreChorus]
So take up these lonely hands
Make a break for the open lands
And save all the plans that we have made
For us

[Chorus]
So can you hear me?
‘Cause I’m screaming from the car
Where we first kissed
And can you catch me?
‘Cause I’m falling off the tail end
Of the best
Yes I’m living in the past
And I want it back
Is that too much to ask?

[Bridge]
Take the chance on us
And baby love will take us dancing through
Everlasting happiness
That makes the dark worth fighting through
So take my hand, let’s leave the plan
And start it on a brand new page
‘Cause things were tough
But now I’ve come to trust
That you belong with me
