If I told you a little lie
It would be a story
Just stretch the truth a little bit
No malicious reason
Nothing I'm ashamed of
Just tried to sidestep an argument

Right beside you, miles away
Nothin' but distance and skyline
Right beside you, but miles away
Seems like we've been distant for some time

Sometimes it's a hassle
Not written in ink
It's not written to undermine your thoughts
Deep breaths alleviate
Regrets can recreate
The original problem we tried to dodge

-Hey-

Right beside you, miles away
Nothin' but distance and skyline
Right beside you, but miles away
Sure hope you're still on my side
Right beside you, miles away
Nothin' but distance and skyline
I'm right beside you, just sayin' 'Hey'
-HEY!-
Seems like we've been distant for some time

I told you a little lie, maybe a falsehood
Maybe somehow I'm ashamed
I'd like to apologize
For running down tomorrow
It's just nice to get things straight

Right beside you, miles away
Nothin' but distance and skyline
Right beside you, but miles away
Seems like we've been distant for some time

Right beside you, miles away
Nothin' but distance and skyline
Right beside you, just sayin' 'Hey'
-HEY!-
Sure hope you're still on my side
On my side
Sure hope you're still on my side
