Beside You

Six60 · Six60 [2011]

So he's going across to London

But she never crossed his mind

Eyes look to the future

But don't see what he left behind

She can't take it any longer

Now she's holding on for dear, dear life

So you should know that you got to let him go

Then it's gonna be alright



[Chorus]

Outer change is for the better

And we all go different ways

But we all need something, oh, to hold

But if change is what you're after

Then she won't get in your way

But they all need something, oh, to hold



So she laughs at all the promises

And she smiles at what she's got

Hoping no one notices

That she's something that she's not

Now her thoughts are getting clouded

By the crown that's on her head

But I can't stay if you're drifting away

Oh, you're trying instead



[Chorus]

Outer change is for the better

And we all go different ways

But we all need something, oh, to hold

But if change is what you're after

Then she won't get in your way

But they all need something, oh, to hold



To hold

Something, oh, to hold



[Chorus]

Outer change is for the better

And we all go different ways

But we all need something, oh, to hold

But if change is what you're after

Then she won't get in your way

But they all need something, oh, to hold



Something, oh, to hold, yeah

Something, oh, to hold
