Side Effects Lyrics
[Verse 1: Emily Warren]
It's 4 AM, I don't know where to go
Everywhere is closed, I should just go home, yeah
My feet are taking me to your front door
I know I shouldn't though, heaven only knows
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Warren]
That, ooh, the side effect to my loneliness is you
[Chorus: Emily Warren]
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
[Verse 2: Emily Warren]
This happens every time I try to mix
Decision making with one too many drinks
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Warren]
But, ooh, if late-night friends have consequences, cool, yeah
[Chorus: Emily Warren]
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
Ooh, I think about it all the time
Make it happen in my mind, I'm telling you, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
[Bridge: Emily Warren & Andrew Taggart]
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went looking for a sign, but instead, I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressing
Draw the line, I'm by the line (Yeah)
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went looking for a sign, but instead, I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressing
Draw the line, I'm by the line
[Chorus: Emily Warren]
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight, yeah
I, I think about it all the time
Make it happen in my mind, I'm telling you, yeah
Ooh, you're all that I want
No good at giving you up
Come on and give me some love tonight
[Outro: Emily Warren & Andrew Taggart]
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went looking for a sign, but instead, I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressing
Draw the line, I'm by the line (Yeah)
Time should've taught me the lesson
Went looking for a sign, but instead, I got a message
I take off my pride every time we undressing
Draw the line, I'm by the line (Yeah)

What did The Chainsmokers say about "Side Effects"?
It’s definitely funky. We felt like our music has been like in a much slower, more mellow place. And it’s summertime, and we feel like we really wanted to make an upbeat summertime record – and that’s what we came up with. We also made “Sick Boy” and “You Owe Me” during the winter, and it was a dark...
What inspired the lyrics of the song?
We love writing about millennial relationships, for better or worse. [Laughs.] But we write about what we observe, and we write about making bad decisions often, as you’ll hear in the song. But also kind of being impulsive in getting into them, and also living in the moment, as we find beauty in tho...
Why was Emily Warren featured on the song?
She has dirt on us, so we’re kind of like a hostage to her. [Laughs.] No, but she’s the best. She’s probably one of our favorite human beings, period. When you’re comfortable with someone and they know you well, it’s really easy to make music that you enjoy and are excited about. It’s really excitin...
What does Emily bring to the table that other artists you worked with haven’t?
Writing songs with people, it comes down to your connection with them. Emily is just the most fun. She’s so not only intelligent, but she’s so well-read in so many different things. And her skill in particular, she’s so good at helping you tell your story. We always joke that it’s like these long th...
