(Verse 1) We were kids with scraped-up knees, Running wild through autumn leaves, Laughing loud like nothing breaks, Making plans we’d never make. You were there when storms rolled in, Holding light beneath my skin, Even when the road got rough, You always somehow stayed enough. (Pre-Chorus) And time keeps turning pages fast, But some things always last. (Chorus) Side by side, through the highs and lows, Through every winding road life throws, When the night gets cold and the sky won’t shine, I know you’ll be right here by my side. No matter where the years may fly, Some hearts never say goodbye, We’re more than memories passing by— We’re side by side. (Verse 2) Different dreams and different towns, Still you never let me down, One phone call and there you are, Never really feeling far. You know every scar I hide, Every tear, every ounce of pride, And somehow you still believe In the best parts inside of me. (Pre-Chorus) The world can change a million ways, But friendship stays the same. (Chorus) Side by side, through the highs and lows, Through every winding road life throws, When the night gets cold and the sky won’t shine, I know you’ll be right here by my side. No matter where the years may fly, Some hearts never say goodbye, We’re more than memories passing by— We’re side by side. (Bridge) And when we’re old and silver-haired, We’ll laugh about the dreams we shared, Every moment, every mile, Was worth it all because of your smile. (Final Chorus) Side by side, till the very end, More than family, more than friends, Through every chapter, every climb, Your hand will always steady mine. And if the stars all fade from sight, We’ll still be singing through the night, Two souls forever intertwined— Always side by side.
