According to Gordi, ‘On My Side’ was written about being incapable of telling someone that you needed them, ‘sending my words silently’ through lyrics instead.
[Verse 1]
I’d paint a picture for you here
But I would sooner disappear
Then let you know what’s on my mind
But then I’d leave myself behind
[Chorus]
And I know
That I can’t, I won’t
I’ll tell you that I don’t
But I need you on my side
And I’ll stay, I’ll go
I’ll tell you I may not
But I need you on my side
[Verse 2]
How do you give yourself to me?
I send you my words silently
I have been tongue-tied for a while
'Cause I can’t go that extra mile
[Chorus]
And I know
That I can’t, I won’t
I’ll tell you that I don’t
But I need you on my side
And I’ll stay, I’ll go
I’ll tell you I may not
But I need you on my side
[Bridge]
I’m expecting something
When my hands are cold
And I can’t fight this feeling
Or what I’ve been told
'Cause everything I’m asking of you
Just too much to hold
[Chorus]
'Cause I can’t, I won’t
I’ll tell you that I don’t
But I need you on my side
And I’ll stay, I’ll go
I’ll tell you I may not
But I need you on my
I need you on my
I need you on my
I can’t, I won’t
I’ll tell you that I don’t
But I need you on my side
And I’ll stay, I’ll go
I’ll tell you I may not
But I need you on my side
