Side By Side

[Verse 1]
[Male]
You like sun up, I’m midnight
You clean up, I just try
You plan every little thing out
I’m “hook a left, we’ll ride”
We fuss in the kitchen some evenings
Talk sharp, then we both just laugh
You steal the covers and the pillows
But you still got my back
[Verse 2]
[Female]
You leave boots by the front door
I trip, you swear you’ll change
You burn toast, I burn candles
Somehow it all feels the same
We’re loud, then we’re kissing in seconds
Can’t fake what we got, it’s real
You’re rough, I’m tender and stubborn
But you know how I feel (mm-hmm)
[Chorus]
[Both]
Side by side, good and bad
Ride or die through the joy and the mad
We might yell, but we don’t go to bed sad
’Cause we turn that heat to fire in the sheets, it’s bad
Oh, we’re opposites, baby, but it works just right
Country hearts, little wild in the late-night light
Side by side, side by side
Yeah, we’re wrong, we’re right, but we still align
[Verse 3]
[Male]
You like candles, I like chaos
You read books, I talk trash
But your hands find mine on the sofa
And my pride don’t stand a chance
We don’t slam doors, we slam bodies
On the mattress, talk it out
Every “I’m done” turns to “come here”
You’re the storm I can’t live without (hey)
[Bridge]
[Female]
You’re my bad idea that turned to a plan
[Male]
You’re my Sunday prayer and my drink-in-hand
[Both]
We clash, we crash, then we breathe, then we laugh
And we always find our way back
[Chorus]
[Both]
Side by side, good and bad
Ride or die through the joy and the mad
We might yell, but we don’t go to bed sad
’Cause we turn that heat to fire in the sheets, it’s bad
Oh, we’re opposites, baby, but it works just right
Country hearts, little wild in the late-night light
Side by side, side by side
Yeah, we’re wrong, we’re right, but we still align (oh yeah)
Side by side, side by side
’Til the wheels fall off, you’re mine

rap, Country-trap crossover duet, male and female vocals trading lines. Warm acoustic guitar and banjo over a fat 808 and tight clap. Verses stay intimate and conversational; hook hits big with stacked harmonies and a singalong chant. Subtle slide guitar fills and low organ pad under the bridge to let the vocal chemistry shine., country
