Hold on / head-strong lady / I've been gone / for a few short years.
But my song / has you threaded through / for too long / unsure what to do.
So I write it in a letter / and I bleed on the page / then I start to get better / burn a little sage / it's a complicated matter / but at this day in age / I'm tired of playing games / so I'll just come out and say it...
Break free / my lady / come live here with me,
If insight / serves me right / then it's time that you by my side.
Want you by my side.
I've seen many places / fine women and wine,
But through the course of my days / it's often yours on my mind.
And it hurts me so / to see you so intertwined,
For that man you're with is gonna' make you lose your mind!
Break free / my lady / come live here with me,
If insight / serves me right / then it's time that you by my side.
Want you by my side.
(repeat)
Would you hand me my water / want you by my side.
We could drink a bit of whisky / want you by my side,
We could go see a movie / want you by my side,
Get freaky in the back seat / want you by my side,
Would you like a cup of tea / want you by my side,
When I'm brushing my teeth / want you by my side,
When I wake up in the morning in the middle of the night,
Want you by my side / want you by my side.
But my song / has you threaded through / for too long / unsure what to do.
So I write it in a letter / and I bleed on the page / then I start to get better / burn a little sage / it's a complicated matter / but at this day in age / I'm tired of playing games / so I'll just come out and say it...
Break free / my lady / come live here with me,
If insight / serves me right / then it's time that you by my side.
Want you by my side.
I've seen many places / fine women and wine,
But through the course of my days / it's often yours on my mind.
And it hurts me so / to see you so intertwined,
For that man you're with is gonna' make you lose your mind!
Break free / my lady / come live here with me,
If insight / serves me right / then it's time that you by my side.
Want you by my side.

Would you hand me my water / want you by my side.
We could drink a bit of whisky / want you by my side,
We could go see a movie / want you by my side,
Get freaky in the back seat / want you by my side,
Would you like a cup of tea / want you by my side,
When I'm brushing my teeth / want you by my side,
When I wake up in the morning in the middle of the night,
Want you by my side / want you by my side.
