Lyrics
ON YOUR SIDE
hi there mr. sunshine
dare to hear your shadow speak
i can't be myself and be
the fantasy you seek
i'm running off to somewhere
underneath the crescent moon
hiding every grievance
until i can be truthful
do you know what i want
do you know what i crave
and in your land of make-believe
i should be exactly what you need
all i want is to be released
and i'm still here
all i want is to see you happy
and i'm still on your side
i'm hoping that you're still on mine
hi there mr. sunshine
dare to hear your shadow speak
i can't be in love
if all i want to be is a friend
reaching out to your heart
all the things i've never said
planting every grievance
i'll leave room for your regrets
(chorus)
