Side By Side

[Chorus]
Side by side
Time and time
Wherever we are
Together for life
Side by side

[Verse 1]
April the 17th in 1997
We’re rolling tape together
Tracking East Coast at Trax East with Steve
We punch the tape in turn it up and drive away
Flashback it’s ’93
It’s summer in September blue landline rings
You say, “come over Friday and bring your Les Paul”
We plug in for the first time and turn it up

[Chorus]
Side by side
Time and time
Wherever we are together for life
Side by side

[Verse 2]
New Year’s it’s ’99
We’re faded on a Thursday before midnight
In a basement in New Brunswick
Red cups, red wine
Two hundred voices sing with us for the first time

[Chorus]
Side by side
Time and time
Wherever we are
Together for life
Side by side

[Verse 3]
We’re split-screen 2003
Left you reading a magazine
My drink makes a ring
Right around the alabaster from 2000 B.C
But we’re staring at the same Jackson Pollock painting

[Chorus]
Side by side
Time and time
Wherever we are together for life
Side by side

[Outro]
Side by side
