By My Side Lyrics
by Ben Harper-
don't you get ahead of me
and i won't leave you behind
if you get unhappy
show me a sign
there's no love like lost love
no pain like a broken heart
there's no love like you and me
and no loss like us apart
promises, promise is
only a word
and when softly spoken
is never heard
and a heart
is not a stone
and is fragile, is fragile
when alone
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
my care for you
is from the ground up to the sky
it's over under up above
down below and to the side
there's no use in pretending
no use in saving face
my love is never ending
you are my saving grace
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
~Forever
by Ben Harper-
Not talkin' 'bout a year
no not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
in my life anymore
forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
People spend so much time
every single day
runnin' 'round all over town
givin' their forever away
but no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
Like a handless clock with numbers
an infinite of time
no not the forever found
only in the mind
forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
~Better With You
Five Times August
So maybe I’ve got a lot to learn
Or maybe I’m just hanging on my words
Or maybe it’s not a big concern
But if I raised my hand
Would I understand why I’m better with you?
So maybe there’s not a lot to say
Or maybe I’m wrong doing things my way
Or maybe things will be okay
If I get it together
And do somethingclever
But make it better with you
(bridge)
So tell me where did I go wrong before you
Before you came along
Well, it seems like I was lost
You showed me how to do things right
Now I’m so glad that now you’re mine
So let me say it all again…
So maybe there’s not a lot to do
Or maybe I’m just making myself confused
Or maybe I’ve got nothing to lose
But if I get out of line,
Just tell me you’re mine,
And how I’m better with you
(bridge)
(chorus)
So use me, don’t let me screw it up
I believe you and I need your touch
Just a little spice of you
Could never be too much
I believe you and I need you now
To make it better some how
You make it better some how
(bridge)
(chorus)
