Always On Your Side
Eternal Questions of Love and Choices
Lyrics
My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
Reflecting on past experiences, emotionally packed and stored away.
But every now and then you come to mind
Occasional memories of someone special resurface.
'Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
Recalling a time when the person was eager to participate but hesitant.
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
Hiding when it was their turn, avoiding engagement.
When you knew that I was always on your side
Expressing a consistent supportive stance despite their actions.
Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
Reflecting on a simpler, innocent past.
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Challenges and conflicting aspects of one's personality resurface.
Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought you'd be
Traces of an envisioned self are left behind, creating uncertainty.
Leavin' me with no place left to go from here
Feeling stranded with no clear path forward.
Leavin' me so many questions all these years
Long-standing unanswered questions about the relationship.
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Wondering if there's a place where everything is clear and restart is easy.
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Questioning the possibility of starting anew with loved ones.
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
Contemplating solitude and eternal questioning.
This isn't how it's really meant to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
No it isn't how it's really meant to be
Reiterating the sentiment that things are not as they should be.
Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear
Highlighting the ambiguity of love and its unclear nature.
How to pull it close and make it stay
Struggling to understand how to sustain love and keep it close.
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
Using the metaphor of butterflies, emphasizing freedom and departure.
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Pondering the reasons for enduring challenges.
Even through it all, I'm always on your side
Reaffirming unwavering support despite difficulties.
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Repeating the desire for clarity and a fresh start.
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Questioning whether there is a place for a new beginning with loved ones.
Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally
Continuing the contemplation of loneliness and eternal questioning.
But is this how it's really meant to be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs (repeated).
No is it how it's really meant to be
Reiterating the sentiment that things are not as they should be (repeated).
Well if they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
Revisiting the theme of love's ambiguity and unclear nature.
How to pull it close and make it stay
Struggling to understand how to sustain love and keep it close (repeated).
If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Repeating the metaphor of butterflies, emphasizing their freedom and departure.
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Pondering the reasons for enduring challenges (repeated).
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
Questioning the influence of a specific person on life's uncertainties.
When you know that I was always on your side
Reaffirming the constant support despite the person's impact.
