Departures cover
03. Side by Side
Album: Departures
Artist: Jon Foreman
         
 

The best me
Is unafraid
when I’m deeply aware of
The love of the maker that made me

And the best you
Is honest
When I finally start to believe
In the promise you promised

And maybe, somewhere deep inside
Under the fake me, underneath on my pride
Is more than a daydream
Where I finally find the missing piece
That I’ve been looking for

Where you and I
As different as snowflakes
Side-by-side
Start to melt into something
You and I
We’ll find the ocean we come from
Where you and I
Like a symphony ringing
Side-by-side
My drums and your singing
You and I
We’ll find the ocean we come from

Side by side

The best you
Is free
Where you’re beautiful inside and out
Without trying to be anything

The best me
Ain’t broken
When I’m not trying to defend who I am
Against lies that were spoken

And lately
I get a feeling inside
Thinking that maybe
I might see you in my eye
More than a daydream
Where I finally find the missing piece
That I’ve been looking for

Where you and I
As different as snowflakes
Side-by-side
Start to melt into something
You and I
We’ll find the ocean we come from
Where you and I
Like a symphony ringing
Side-by-side
My drums and your singing
You and I
We’ll find the ocean we come from

Side by Side

How we spend out time
Is how we spend our lives
Is who we become
Is how we spend our time
Oh, the irony
Friends and enemies
We’ll all be buried
Side by side
