Always On Your Side

Today I decided to change my playlist song and changed it to "Always On Your Side" by Sheryl Crow. I've always liked this song, and today I really took time to listen to the song and read the lyrics! Music is so magical and tells a story. Songs can mean different things to different people, but they all mean something! Sometimes I get into a song, but don't really take the time to listen closely to the words and what they represent. Next time you hear a song you love, take the time to REALLY listen to it. You will discover that it means much more than you thought!


Always On Your Side - Sheryl Crow

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought you'd be
Leavin' me with no place left to go from here
Leavin' me so many questions all these years

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally
But is this how it's really meant to be
No is it how it's really meant to be

Well if they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side

Somedays I am driving in the car and I really take a minute to listen to the words in a song and I end up balling! I love how music has that effect!
