By My Side

I have seen from every vantage
Bent the vows and broke the branches
Like it was going out of style
You gave an inch, I took the whole damn mile

Now I know not what I knew then
As we tiptoed to the last dance
And the static blurred to white light
I couldn't see behind your green eyes

Since the day you went away I nearly lost my mind
Now I need for you to be here
By my side

Now I'm blazin' 'tween the white lines
Past the welcome to your state sign
A couple hundred miles to see you
Oh I wish that this could just be real

Oh how I feel
Since the day you went away I nearly lost my mind
Now I need for you to be here
By my side

Since the day you went away I nearly lost my mind
Now I need for you to be here by my
Can't you see it's clear now darlin'
