By Your Side

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue coat by the kitchen chair Keys in the bowl, loose strands of your hair You tell me the story I already know I still want to hear every word you say slow [Pre-Chorus] When the day has taken more than it should You lean on my shoulder, and I know that I could Stay right here, no matter how long With your hand in mine, where I belong [Chorus] You are the first good thought in the morning The steady truth when the world starts storming I don't need a perfect sky above I just need this life with you, my love If every road turns unfamiliar and wide I'll find my way by your side [Verse 2] We count out the groceries, laugh at the rain Miss the last train, then walk home again Your old red sweater smells like cedar and soap You make a small room feel bigger than hope [Pre-Chorus] And when the doubt comes knocking at our door You remind me what we are fighting for Not a flawless story, not a movie scene Just the truest thing I've ever seen [Chorus] You are the first good thought in the morning The steady truth when the world starts storming I don't need a perfect sky above I just need this life with you, my love If every road turns unfamiliar and wide I'll find my way by your side [Bridge] Years may change the color of the walls We may lose a few things, we may take some falls But if your fingers reach for mine I'll call that a beautiful life every time [Final Chorus] You are the first good thought in the morning The steady truth when the world starts storming I don't need a perfect sky above I just need this life with you, my love When every road turns unfamiliar and wide I'll find my way by your side Yes, every road turns unfamiliar and wide I'll find my way by your side [Outro] By your side That is where I want to be By your side You are home to me
