On Your Side

There is a mountain I should face
I am growing old because I cannot walk away
Still I hope that by the end of every day
I might know how

Too many years for me to waste
I would like to think that I have made my own mistakes
When we both know I am an accidental flame that should go out

I am on your side
Don’t let me down
You know we’re only tired of doing right
I am on your side
Are you with me now
I know it will be easier to fight
With me on your side

You know I’ve tried to celebrate
Every little victory we’ve had along the way
Though I see you struggling to find the words to say
The time’s running out

I know we need to separate
You can only tell yourself for so long that it’s great
And so you’re drawn into this accidental flame
And you’re burning down

I am on your side
Don’t let me down
You know we’re only tired of doing right
I am on your side
Are you with me now
I hope it will be easier to fight

Do you know of another place we can escape for now
Do you hope there’s a way that we can turn it back around

I am on your side
Don’t let me down
You know we’re only tired of doing right
I am on your side
Are you with me now
I know it will be easier to fight

I am on your side
Don’t let me down
You know we’re only tired of doing right
I am on your side
Be with me now
I know it can be easier to fight
With me on your side
