By My Side

You run the maze, come out unscathed
Shake off the blues
Well it might be chance or circumstance
But you still came through
Every time I towed the line you were there to take my hand
Cause in the end you were always by my side

Words delayed I turned the page
And lost my place
It's a symptom of the time to compromise
And play it safe
Even when I knew that I couldn't take another stride
In the end you were always by my side

So lean right back and pour some sherry
Fly away coal mine canary

Wherever you go I'll follow you
And if you fall you know I'll fall too
All these little specters they get caught up in our dreams
Till the sun comes up electric
Then you'll know just what I mean
I'd bet it all
(oo-ooh oo-ooh)
(oo-ooh oo-ooh)
Bet it all on you

Guess I need to age
Let my hair turn gray
To feel the ache
I had to try and chose to lie
I'd been so fake
Let the papers fly a mile high
Let them sort this whole thing out
Cause in the end you were always by my side

We were never ordinary
Fly away coal mine canary

Wherever you go I'll follow you
And if you fall you know I'll fall too
All these past emotions that it's plastic that it's fate
When you see it all in motion then you'll know it's not too late

Bet it all
(oo-ooh oo-ooh)
I'd bet it all on you
(oo-ooh oo-ooh)
Bet it all
Bet it all
I'd bet it all on you
