Side X Side

“I don’t have to try to be the one you want?”

Said Liberty, chewing on a bit of mint leaves

In her 18th story room

“You never even had to be the lucky one,”

He followed, descending the spiral staircase

Into a tangled solarium

When you’re giving me this

side by side

You bet I’m gonna rip around

You got me out there

You got me out there now

When you’re giving me this

side by side

You bet I’m gonna rip around

You got me out there

You got me out there now

He was cutting paint along the window sill,

Pulling casements,

Watching the light put patterns around the broken garden wall

“We both know that we were born to run, so let’s burn it”

Lit out for open country with you on my arm

When you’re giving me this

side by side

You bet I’m gonna rip around

You got me out there

You got me out there now

When you’re giving me this

side by side

You bet I’m gonna rip around

You got me out there

You got me out there now

When you’re giving me this

side by side

You bet I’m gonna rip around

You got me out there

You got me out there now

When you’re giving me this

side by side

You bet I’m gonna rip around

You got me out there

You got me out there now
