[Verse 1]
Somehow you're always caught in-between
Who you are and who it is that you're trying to be
Waking up back in the desert again
Searching through the foggy mirage of your memories
[Pre-Chorus]
You tried to drown us all with alcohol
Self-medicating through the mourning
You're looking for Paris, Texas or your own private Idaho
Still you hear a voice that's calling out your name
Though it's faint sometimes, it's always there
[Chorus]
What if I was on your side all along
And you couldn't see it at all?
I couldn't make it right, all those wrongs
I forget that you're never wrong
I was always on your side
[Verse 2]
When we speak, it's all through one-way glass
All you see is yourself in the harshest light
I really hoped one day this all would pass
And that the fog might clear between you and I
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to drown it all with alcohol
Self-medicating through the mourning
I'm looking for Paris, Texas or my own private Idaho
Still I hear your voice calling out my name
Though it's faint sometimes, you're always there
[Chorus]
What if I was on your side all along
And you couldn't see it at all?
I couldn't make it right, all those wrongs
I forget that you're never wrong
I was always on your side
[Bridge]
The hardest part is
That you don't even lie anymore
Even lie, even lie anymore
The saddest part is
That you can't even cry anymore
Even cry, even cry anymore
The hardest part is
That you don't even lie anymore
Even lie, even lie anymore
The saddest part is
That you can't even cry anymore
Even cry, even cry anymore
[Chorus]
What if I was on your side all along
But you couldn't see it at all
I couldn't make it right, all those wrongs
I forget that you're never wrong
What if I was on your side all along?
And you couldn't see it at all
I couldn't make it right, all those wrongs
I forget that you're never wrong
It doesn't make you right
I was always on your side

This is inspired by two really great films, Paris, Texas and My Own Private Idaho. In My Own Private Idaho, River Phoenix’s character keeps waking up in the desert, as he’s a narcoleptic, and in Paris, Texas, it opens with a guy who’s stranded in the middle of the desert, trying to pi...
