Lyrics

Like a crack on a runway We're going one way Can't stop 'til we make it out Like a man with a screenplay Headed to LA Can't stop 'til he's off the ground Sometimes we feel like we're nothing Can't make the world spin for something We often feel like we're heading down Stop! Look me in the eyes There's a lot going on between you and I I'd stop! For a couple nights Just to end up with you by my side I'd stop! Running through my mind Stacking these chips just send me the line I'd stop! Only a couple times Just to end up with you by my side I'd stop! Already told him that's where we're going Too late to make amends (too late to make amends) I swear he knew it, tried to go through it That's when we play pretend (that's when we play pretend) Sometimes we feel like we're nothing (we're nothing) Can't make the world spin for something (for something) We often feel like we're heading down (we often feel like we're heading down) Stop! Look me in the eyes There's a lot going on between you and I I'd stop! For a couple nights Just to end up with you by my side I'd stop! Running through my mind Stacking these chips just send me the line I'd stop! Only a couple times Just to end up with you by my side I'd stop! Sometimes we feel like we're nothing (we're nothing) Can't make the world spin for something (for something) We often feel like we're heading down (we often feel like we're heading down) Stop! (stop) Look me in the eyes There's a lot going on between you and I (between you and I) I'd stop! (stop) For a couple nights Just to end up with you by my side (by my side) I'd stop! (stop) Running through my mind Stacking these chips just send me the line (send me the line) I'd stop! (stop) Only a couple times Just to end up with you by my side (by my side) I'd stop! I'd stop!

Meaning of "By My Side" by Tanner Carlson

The lyrics to "By My Side" immediately plunge into a relentless forward momentum, driven by a sense of urgency and a predetermined path. Images like a "crack on a runway" paint a picture of unstoppable progress. Yet, this drive is undercut by a pervasive feeling of insignificance, where "we feel like we're nothing." The tension between ambition and vulnerability is palpable from the start.
