Devils hide within us man, ripping us from limb to limb

But we have the strength to make it through

Simple words can make a stand, tip the side of an old tin can

That is my advice I have for you

And when you're gone love nothing seems to work out right

Love's gone by the wayside

But when you're home love simple words are all I find

Love comes by the wayside

City lights, busy streets was the perfect place to meet

Never knowing which way's up or down

Since I'm home, missing you, writing songs is all I do

Makes it seems like you're still around

'Cause when you're gone love nothing seems to work out right

Love's gone by the wayside

When you're home love simple words are all I find

Love comes by the wayside, yeah

When you're gone love nothing seems to work out right

Love's gone by the wayside

But when you're home love simple words are all I find

Love comes by the wayside, yeah
