[Verse 1] I've been walking on the line, waiting for my time Chasing a dream I never truly believed The world moved so fast, so frightened of coming last I so nearly let you just pass by Yet fate is a mystery, can cure all the misery If you just let it do its thing It sent you into my life to wash away all my strife A love I so desperately needed, but failed to realize [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause when the ground beneath my feet gives way and I begin to retreat You reach out, reach out and pull me away from the darkness that I see [Chorus] You lift my heart when my mind forces it down My spirit rises every time you are around The cure to my loneliness, the remedy to my fears A shining light that burns away the darkness, an unbreakable bond With every single kiss, two souls woven into one The pillar of strength we have become My only heartache is when you are not there By my side, By my side When you're not there by my side Is the only time I'll shed a tear [Verse 2] From anxiety I built a wall, waiting for it to fall Adding bricks instead of taking them down You saw right through the fortress, through my distress Your love just pulled me free My embers were dying despite all my trying to rekindle the flame that once burned But when I began to falter, you made me walk taller Your warmth comforting my heart, rebuilding my sanctuary [Pre-Chorus] Now I have the world at my feet, there's no way I will retreat I am with you, with you until my final breath fades from me [Chorus] You lift my heart when my mind forces it down My spirit rises every time you are around The cure to my loneliness, the remedy to my fears A shining light that burns away the darkness, an unbreakable bond With every single kiss, two souls woven into one The pillar of strength we have become My only heartache is when you are not there By my side, By my side When you're not there by my side Is the only time I'll shed a tear [Bridge] After all the pain, held back by the chains I can cast it all away now that you are by my side (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) [Outro] Pull me back when I begin to float away You are the grace to catch me when I fall You gave me your love, I give you my heart Now the darkness has gone, the light shines true through the wreckage of my past Two souls woven into one, the pillar of strength we have become My only heartache is when you are not there By my side, By my side When you're not there by my side Is the only time I'll shed a tear [Outro Yeah, everything is fine, everything is just fine With you by my side, By my side
