[Verse 1] I saw your name on the edge of my day In a paper cup and a bent-up tray You laughed so fast, then looked away Like you knew I’d stay Your hands were warm in the rain outside Your boots all mud and your eyes so wide I kept my cool, then I cracked inside When you said “come ride” [Pre-Chorus] And I, I don’t want to miss this No, I don’t want to trade it You move like a spark in the dark And I can’t fake it [Chorus] Want you by my side You, you, you Want you by my side Pull me close, pull me through Want you by my side Hold the night, hold me right Want you by my side You, you, you [Verse 2] We took the long road past the empty lots With the old milk crates and the tired bus stop You sang so low, then you laughed a lot At the way I got caught I had a hundred plans, then they all slipped down Like coins in my pocket on the run through town Now every step just brings you around And I like that sound [Pre-Chorus] And I, I don’t need a reason Just your hand in mine If you go, my whole world leans So stay this time [Chorus] Want you by my side You, you, you Want you by my side Pull me close, pull me through Want you by my side Hold the night, hold me right Want you by my side You, you, you [Bridge] Say it soft, say it plain I’m right here, do the same No more running, no more games Just your name in my veins [Final Chorus] Want you by my side You, you, you Want you by my side Pull me close, pull me through Want you by my side Hold the night, hold me right Want you by my side You, you, you
