[Verse 1]
It would be best
If I could sit by your side
Same table by your side
Just to watch you smile
I keep my chair pulled close
I leave a little room
For your hand to find mine
Across the afternoon
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a big parade
I don't need a perfect night
Just your breath near my ear
And your eyes on mine
[Chorus]
It would be best
If I could be by your side
It would be best
If I could stay there tonight
Eat with you
Be with you
Make it simple
Make it right
It would be best
If I could be by your side
[Verse 2]
I know the world moves fast
But I move slow for you
I like the way you say my name
Like you mean it too
One plate, one laugh, one look
That's all I need to know
If your heart makes room for me
I'll never let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a big parade
I don't need a perfect night
Just your breath near my ear
And your eyes on mine
[Chorus]
It would be best
If I could be by your side
It would be best
If I could stay there tonight
Eat with you
Be with you
Make it simple
Make it right
It would be best
If I could be by your side
[Bridge]
Let the whole room fade away
Let the noise fall down
If you reach across that table
I'll be there, I'll be found
[Final Chorus]
It would be best
If I could be by your side
It would be best
If I could stay there tonight
Eat with you
Be with you
Make it simple
Make it right
It would be best
If I could be by your side
It would be best
If I could be by your side
