Songtexte Side by Side - AVGUST

I can't keep on waiting from the side
Leave it up to you I can't decide
We can take a ride
See what's on your mind
Ride, oh

I was eleven when we first met
I heard your voice and felt a presence I would not forget
You from the City but you found me in boondocks
It could've been a passing moment but we did connect
As I grew older I developed something deep for ya
A need for ya
I write to ya
I dream of ya
I'm thinking of the persona that I should be for ya
Until I'm finally ready to up and leave for ya
And now we're riding together, I stay behind the wheel
I like to let you relax and tell you just how I feel
I never thought I would have you, so everything surreal
I promise I'm never leaving now do we have a deal?

Side by side this wasn't planned
Smiling while I touch your hand
Gave your heart away before, told me you can't trust again
I think we can help each other, but you think I'm just a fan
Baby don't play games with me, watch how I become your man

I can't keep on waiting from the side
Leave it up to you I can't decide
We can take a ride
See what's on your mind
Ride, oh

See I love you don't you understand?
I couldn't fake it
If I saw you with another man
I couldn't take it
If my patience was a rubber band
Then you would break it
Everybody has a limit don't you get it mistaken
I've been stretching myself thin to cover every blemish
Giving you a hundred and ten, don't see the same percentage
On your side, and now you wanna argue on the interstate
"If I'm so much work then let me go"
I wasn't finished
I could go into specifics
It would take up all the minutes left
Desperation creeping in the convo tryna intercept
Driving over borders hoping I don't cross the line
But I'm realizing you don't wanna hear me yet
Still we sit

Side by side this wasn't planned
Smiling while I touch your hand
Gave your heart away before, told me you can't trust again
I think we can help each other, but you think I'm just a fan
Baby don't play games with me, watch how I become your man

I can't keep on waiting from the side
Leave it up to you I can't decide
We can take a ride
See what's on your mind
Ride, oh

I was eleven when we first met
I heard your voice and felt a presence I would not forget
You from the City and you represent the raw truth
You taught me how to be authentic so I pay respect
As I grew older I developed something deep for ya
A need for ya
I write to ya
I fiend for ya
I'm seeing videos, pictures, and magazines of ya
I'm having visions of taking it overseas with ya
You introduced me to the artists that I listen to
You are the music in the car and in living room
You are the vessel for my soul to be delivered through
I couldn't find another purpose if it isn't you

I can't keep on waiting from the side
Leave it up to you I can't decide
