By Your Side
Unwavering Support: By Your Side, Megan Shumway
Lyrics
Please hand it over
Expressing a request to surrender or give up something.
There's no need for you to go this far
Advising against going to extreme lengths; suggesting moderation.
I'm begging you, Wilbur
Pleading with someone named Wilbur, possibly to reconsider a decision or action.
Remember where we've been and who you are
Reminding Wilbur of their shared history and identity.
We can still make it
Expressing the possibility of salvaging a situation.
We can still take it back today
Suggesting the opportunity to rectify or undo something today.
There's no need for you to act this way
Discouraging a particular behavior or attitude.
But whatever your choice
Acknowledging the freedom of choice regardless of consequences.
I'll be by your side
Committing to being supportive and present regardless of circumstances.
Through hell or high water
Expressing commitment through challenging situations ("hell or high water").
We're turning the tide
Indicating a positive shift in circumstances; overcoming difficulties.
Through thick and through thin
Committing to support in times of abundance or scarcity ("thick and through thin").
Whatever trouble we're in
Committing to stand firm in the face of challenges.
We won't be denied
Expressing determination not to be rejected or refused.
As long as I'm by your side
Reiterating the commitment to be alongside despite circumstances.
Look at all the people
Observing the presence of others and questioning potential abandonment of relationships.
Will you forsake your friends, your family?
Posing a question about loyalty to friends and family.
It isn't so so hopeless
Rejecting a sense of hopelessness in the situation.
That you should blow this place to smithereens
Advising against destructive actions like blowing things up.
We can still make it
Reiterating the possibility of rectifying the situation.
We can still take it back today
Reiterating the opportunity to undo or fix something today.
There's no need for you to act this way
Restating the discouragement of a particular behavior or attitude.
But whatever your choice
Acknowledging the freedom of choice despite consequences.
I'll be by your side
Reiterating the commitment to be supportive and present.
Through hell or high water
Expressing commitment through challenging situations ("hell or high water").
We're turning the tide
Indicating a positive shift in circumstances; overcoming difficulties.
Through thick and through thin
Committing to support in times of abundance or scarcity ("thick and through thin").
Whatever trouble we're in
Committing to stand firm in the face of challenges.
We won't be denied
Expressing determination not to be rejected or refused.
As long as I'm by your side
Reiterating the commitment to be alongside despite circumstances.
