Right by My Side

I′ve been chasing smoke;

Trying to make it all of mine;

But the pieces keep on slipping through my hands tonight;

Mama told me love is more than money on a plate;

Still I hold on tight when the world won′t wait;

If I bend, I might break;

If I leave, what's left to say?

I just need a place;

Where my heart can stay;

I just wanna get it right;

Live this life where my family goes tonight;

If I'm dancing, that'll mean I'm still alive;

Money on the table, but

I need more than that to survive;

I just wanna get it right;

Don't let the good things slip away from my sight;

If you with me, baby, we can ride;

Through the cold and heavy night;

I can handle pressure,

I can carry what you need;

But my soul gets quiet when the house don′t feel like peace;

I've been working all day, tryna earn a little rest;

Still the sweetest thing

I know is love inside my chest;

If I bend, I might break;

If I leave;

What's left to say?

I just need a place;

Where my heart can stay;

I just wanna get it right;

Live this life with my family close tonight;

Test and let it mean I'm still alive;

Money on the table, but

I need more than that to survive;

I just wanna get it right;

Don't let the good things zip away from my sight;

If you with me, baby, we can ride;

Through the cold and heavy night;

Baby, I don't need to win the race;

If I can keep loving, it's rightful place;

All the noise can fade, let the world go slow;

I'm not built to lose what

I need to know;

I, I just wanna get it right;

Live this life with my family close tonight;

If I′m dancing let it mean

I'm still alive;

Money on the table but

I need more than that to survive;

I just wanna get it right;

Hold me down and keep me in your light;

If you're with me, baby, we can ride through the cold and heavy nights;

I just wanna get it right, right by my side;

Everything feels right;

Everything feels right, yeah;
