[Intro]
[Female, soft]
Mm, stay close, don't drift away
[Male]
Yeah, right here
[Verse 1 - Male]
Outside the corner shop, shutter down, quarter past ten
You had your coat pulled tight, I had a plan and a pen
Same old faces switching lanes when the pressure got real
You read the look in my eyes before I told you the deal
We learned to count small wins, coins on the counter at night
Now every door feels closer when you stand on my right
They came around for the shine, disappeared for the rain
You held the line with me, never asked me to change
[Pre-Chorus - Female]
I know the roads that made you
You know the weight I carry
When the whole world turns unsteady
You keep your hand right there by me
[Chorus - Female]
Side by side, we don't fold, we don't hide
Let them come and let them go, you're still mine
Through the noise, through the doubt, through the long nights
If you move, then I move, side by side
Side by side, same fire, same ride
You don't need to say a word, I know your mind
When the room gets cold, you're my warm light
If you move, then I move, side by side
[Post-Chorus - Female]
Stay with me, stay with me
[Male, response]
I'm right here
[Female]
Stay with me, stay with me
[Male]
Year after year
[Verse 2 - Male]
We had bus fare in the jar and a dream in the flat
You made a meal from the little, put the hope in the chat
Now the night gets loud, but I can still hear your tone
One look across the room tells me when you need home
People love the finish line, never ask what it cost
We remember every setback, every friend that we lost
Still you laugh in the doorway, gold hoops catching the breeze
Make a hard week feel lighter, bring the calm that I need
[Pre-Chorus - Female]
No promises for strangers
No room for maybe lately
You know exactly where I stand now
And you have never had to chase me
[Chorus - Female]
Side by side, we don't fold, we don't hide
Let them come and let them go, you're still mine
Through the noise, through the doubt, through the long nights
If you move, then I move, side by side
Side by side, same fire, same ride
You don't need to say a word, I know your mind
When the room gets cold, you're my warm light
If you move, then I move, side by side
[Bridge - Male and Female]
[Male]
If I lose the map, you know the way
[Female]
If your faith runs low, I'll make it stay
[Male]
No crowd, no chain, no changing tide
[Female]
Two hearts, one pace, side by side
[Final Chorus - Female]
Side by side, we don't fold, we don't hide
Let them come and let them go, you're still mine
Through the noise, through the doubt, through the long nights
If you move, then I move, side by side
Side by side, same fire, same ride
You don't need to say a word, I know your mind
When the room gets cold, you're my warm light
If you move, then I move, side by side
[Outro - Female ad-libs, Male responses]
Side by side
[Male]
Still right here
[Female]
Side by side
[Male]
Year after year
[Female]
If you move, then I move
[Both]
Side by side
