Story Behind The Song
What it says in the lyrics is exactly how it happened.
Song Description
It's like when you first start falling for someone, but you're afraid to be open about it or become vulnerable with that person because you're not sure if you're going to get rejected or left. But then, you learn that the other person was feeling the exact same fears and realize that there was nothing to be afraid in the first place. If only we could know from the beginning that we were on each other's side.

Lyrics
All along I thought that I was alone
staying cool and playing all my cards right
and oh if only every word was thought through
I could maybe get you on my side
I could maybe get you on my side
Later learning you were thinking the same things
Wondering if every word was charming
Worrying that every move was pretty
Thinking that with every step you're losing
We were always on each other's side
We were always on each other's side
Discovering and sharing many secrets
Each new thing you learn it brings a wall down
Vulnerable and open for a let down
It sometimes makes me want to run and hide
It sometimes makes me want to run and hide
And can I,
even when
we hurt each other,
use my words well?
Thinking that with every word we're losing
We were always on each other's side
We were always on each other's side
