Jim Chastain - Someone by Your Side (DEMO)

Uncle Temp, he's dying slow
I see it in his eyes
Though I pretend I do not know
Pretend to miss the suffering
The webs of ebbing woe
My growing trepidation
That I will never show
Somewhere deep in there
I know that you're not yet gone
Feign a vacant stare
But I know you're listening to this song
Pretend all you want
Push me away
Bottle up what you know
You long to say
Hide from me, but don't be long
The world doesn't
Wait to carry on
Shut me out, but even still
The world may not wait up for you
But you know I always will
A world that seems to pass me by
What I didn't do
Where I didn't get to go
I long to go back when
I climbed the highest
Mountains to have grown
And pushing dangerous heights
With a fire in my eyes
Higher than the bravest men dare climb
And being way up there
With the wind in my hair
I felt as though my world back home
Could never compare
I came to this hotel
With goals I set
With time and things to do
I hadn't yet
And never can I ever rest
'Til I again brave Everest
And never could I ever leave
These things I should have never dreamed
To one day do
If only I knew
How much I'd miss that dirt
Those skies of blue
But here you remain
And the world you grew
To love hasn't changed
And if it had, you would find
That no matter what life threw you
There was always someone by your side
What good is someone by your side
When you just hold them back
From all the world to see?
There's no place out there I'd rather be
Than right here beside you
Here to provide you
With a driving force
Constant support
No matter where you roam
Please come home
You've done more than
Anyone could ever dream of
The world is always changing
But it's me you've always
Leaned on…
I'm here and here I'll stay
Nothing can or will replace
My love for you, your words
Or your embrace
And how to my surprise
Could I have been so daft, so blind?
My world, it's clear
It's you, my dear!
In you, my life, it lies
For you hold all the love
I can possess
And if I died tomorrow
Well, I couldn't care less
For a short-lived life with you
Is a life I'd rather do
Than a thousand years without you
I confess
And when you are down
I'll break your fall
Together in life
We'll live it all
There's nothing the world can do
To break apart us two…
And though I had thought
The world I loved was lost
I can see!
My world was always you
And me
