Sheryl Crow - Always On Your Side
feat. Sting  

My yesterdays are all boxed up 

and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting 

to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called,  

you found a place to hide
When you knew 
that I was always on your side 

Well everything was easy then,  

so sweet and innocent
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leavin' all the traces of the man 

you thought you'd be
Leavin' me with no place left to go from here
Leavin' me so many questions all these years

But is there someplace far away,  

someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones  

you hold so dear or are you left to wonder, 

all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, 

but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

But is there someplace far away, 

someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold 

so dear or are we left to wonder, 

all alone, eternally 

But is this how it's really meant to be
No is it how it's really meant to be

Well if they say that love is in the air, 

never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly, 
why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me 

wondering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side
