By My Side by Hemenway (Fanslation)

Today's fanslation is "By My Side" by Hemenway. I don't know what that name means either. Yet another Naruto ending/opening. The video for the full version is right here. I really like this song, hence the reason I worked on this version. The beginning is the trickiest part: if you don't get the first two lines out, you'll want to sing the third line where the fourth goes, and then that whole section is messed up. This song was also fun to do because I don't often do background vocal stuff (which is in parantheses) and there's a lot of vocal... noises. "Ahhhh yeahh, yeahuhyeahuhyeah!" that sort of thing. Without further ado, By My Side by Hemenway.
 
 
By My Side
 
"It's okay if you don't have all the answers
Just keep on searching for them
It's about time we acted mature
I want to tell you my feelings
But my heart is screaming at me to run away and save me pain 
 
(By my side, by my side.)
 
If the place I'm looking for
Is hidden within your eyes
I want to stare into their depths
Oh, yeah
Sometimes I'll stand in awe
Because this world is beautiful
And all I need to fully enjoy it
Is the feeling of your hand
I need you here right by my side.
By my side.
 
Thank you for your honesty
Your words have changed my outlook
I think I finally understand my purpose in life!
 
(By my side, by my side.)
 
Deep in my heart, there will always be room for you
I'm sure that you know this, even now
Even if
Your griefs were to take you further and further away from me
I would never let go of your hand
So yes, right now,
I need you here right by my side. By my side.
 
(By my side, by my side)
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhhh
(By my side)
 
Please stay here, right beside me.
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
Always keep my hand clasped in yours
By my side.
 
(By my side)
(By my side)
Oh yeah
(By my side)
Oh yeah
(By my side)
