Always On Your Side

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away But every now and then you come to mind 'Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game But when your name was called, you found a place to hide When you knew that I was always on your side Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent But my demons and my angels reappeared Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought I'd be Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared Leavin' you with all these questions all these years But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally This isn't how it's really meant to be No it isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air (Love is in the air), never is it clear How to pull it close and make it stay But butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away And I'm left to carry on and wonder why Even through it all, I'm always on your side Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally When this isn't how it's really meant to be No it isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air (never is it clear) How to pull it close and make it stay If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why Was it you that kept me wondering through this life When you know that I was always on your side
