We've stayed so strong for so long  So this is why we wrote this song  A message to you from me  Bet you can appreciate  A friend in need is a friend indeed    So many changes but that's alright by me  I'll just bite my tounge and carry one  Like nothing's ever happened  Side by side    You think you've got the best of it  There's so much more  I can really taste it  Just jump right in, I know you can't swim  But I'll be there, like a prayer for a sin  Side by side    I never knew how much work could be involved  But as a friend believe in what you're told  Together side by side  Forever side by side  The better days are on their way
