lyrics

I was spending time down at the borderline, I think I saw you there
You were killing time in a state of mind that I couldn’t bear
You were making moves, finding different grooves, that we couldn’t share
And I was in my head, feeling left for dead, trying not to care
I was spending time down at the borderline and you were there

Why can’t it be why can’t it be why can’t it be the only color that we bleed?
Why can’t you see why can’t you see why can’t you see that this is all we’ll ever need?

Ride or die baby
Ride or die with me

But a change inside helped me to realize I wasn’t being fair
And the great divide I placed between our sides simply isn’t there
You were pushing through, trying something new, letting down your hair
And epiphanies bring on apologies in hopes to make things square
Yeah a change inside and I have realized it wasn’t fair

Why should it be why should it be why should it be the only color that we bleed?
I couldn’t see I couldn’t see I couldn’t see that you never meant to leave

Side by side baby
Side by side happy

Sometimes you lose things the tighter that you squeeze
Sometimes I can’t see the forest for the trees
A bird that lives inside a cage ain’t flying free
Even through these changes we’re still a family

Why should it be why should it be why should it be the only color that we bleed?
I couldn’t see I couldn’t see I couldn’t see that you never meant to leave
Why should it be why should it be why should it be the only color that we bleed?
I couldn’t see I couldn’t see I couldn’t see that it was never about me

Side by side baby
Side by side happy
