Beside You Lyrics
When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine
Like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
When you're overwhelmed
And you've lost your breath
And the space between the things you know
Is blurring nonetheless
When you try to speak, but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach
But they've never been so loud
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right inside you
I'll be right inside you
I will sing
Nobody will break you
Trust in me, trust in me, don't pull away
Just trust in me, trust me
Cause I'm just trying to keep it together
Cause I could do worse and you could do better
When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defense
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine
Like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you
And you've lost your breath
And the space between the things you know
Is blurring nonetheless
When you try to speak, but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach
But they've never been so loud
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right inside you
I'll be right inside you
Nobody will break you
Trust in me, trust in me, don't pull away
Just trust in me, trust me
Cause I could do worse and you could do better
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defense
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

This song is absolutely amazing.
'Nuff said.
This song is so...wow... It's pretty obvious what it is about. It is about the person who loves the person more than anything and all they want to do is keep them safe, hide them from the pain. They wont leave their side, always there to look after them. They want them to believe that they will care for them. "I will sing Nobody will break you Trust in me, trust in me, don't pull away Just trust in me, trust me
Cause I'm just trying to keep it together Cause I could do worse and you could do better"
This bit is like they are trying to get the person to believe them because it's what is truelly in their heart but the person may doubt them. The singing keeps the person safe, they just need to trust the person who loves them.
An amazing song. I can really relate to this song. It made the person i showed it to tear up slightly :] It does that to me too. I love all their songs <33
This song is pretty ambiguous. The obvious interpretation is about a relationship, but I'd like to think there's more to it than that. When they were asking for ideas for the music video, I was hoping something would come out with an epic mass of people holding up signs saying things like, "My mom passed away of breast cancer three years ago," and the person beside that would then hold theirs up saying, "I'm a recovering alcoholic," and on and on. Meanwhile, the boys could be acting out a relationship scene, with a girlfriend in the hospital, and the boyfriend being (clearly) right by her side the whole time. The line would lead to the girl in the hospital, and she'd hold up a sign saying something like, "I'm in here because of an attempted suicide." After the climax of the song, the people could flip their signs to show a more positive side, like, "And now, I walk for the cure, and have helped raise millions of dollars for cancer research," and, "I've been sober for seven months!" Lastly, the girl could flip her sign and say, "I'm so happy to be alive." or something.
If the video had been something like that, I think it would've been way more meaningful and interesting. It brings in the concept of never being alone, which I like.
But whatever, they went and did a relationship video with Josh being the main guy... sigh.
wow. I really like your idea :)
wow. I really like your idea :)
Well thank you. :) It would've trumped the cookie-cutter "I LOVES YOU!" idea they ended up with. The video could've been so much better.

That would be good idea but its over used and what they did do is over used too I think they should have did something more orignal

i love this part:
Cause I'm just trying to keep it together Cause I could do worse and you could do better
And your tired eyes refuse to close And sleep in your defense When you're overwhelmed And you've lost your breath And the space between the things you know Is blurring nonetheless
all the lines like this and stuff lead me to think it reflects on his drug addiction and would be there for someone cause he wishedsomeone was for him or maybe someone did -- i dunno what do u think??
