Side By Side lyrics

We learned to bleed in tandem Two wounds that learned to sync Your hand on my collarbone My name undone at the brink We dragged our ghosts together Through doorways, through the mud When one of us fell under The other pulled me up So don't you let go Don't you let go now If the floor gives way We'll still know how Side We don't break, we bend By side Scar tissue, not the end Side Through the ruin and flame By side I'm still breathing your name I saw your eyes go colder I saw my pride go red We threw our words like bottles And they shattered round the bed But even in the wreckage You reached for my sleeve Like saying, I'm still here Was enough to make me breathe So don't you let go Don't you let go now If the roof comes down We'll hold the sound Side We don't break, we bend By side Scar tissue, not the end Side Through the ruin and flame By side I'm still breathing your name If I go blind, be my line If you go dark, I'll be the spark If you go numb, I'll shake your bones Till your heart comes back to start We were never built like stone We were rope pulled taut and thin Stretched until we learn to hold More weight than skin should hold within Side by side Say it again Side by side Til the end Side by side Hands to the sky Side by side We survive Side We don't break, we bend By side Scar tissue, not the end Side Through the ruin and flame By side I'm still breathing your name
