You're runnin' through my brain
And it's making me feel totally insane
I open up my eyes
And obviously it's no big surprise
I want you to be here, uh
If I knew that you were quite near
We would talk about life
And, somehow, it would be alright

I just want you by my side
By my side, by my side
You, by my side, by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, I just want you by my side
You, by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, by my side
You, by my side, by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, I just want you by my side

I want you to be free
But it's just me and me and me and me
I could stay for the night
And, we could hang until the sky is bright
I really want you here, and
I just wish that I could read your fear
And tell me everything's fine, but
So I know that it will be alright

I just want you by my side
By my side, by my side
You, by my side, by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, I just want you by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, by my side
You, by my side, by my side

I just want you by my side
By my side, I just want you by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, by my side
You, by my side, by my side
I just want you by my side

By my side, I just want you by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, by my side
You, by my side, by my side
I just want you by my side
By my side, I just want you by my side
