Verse
-------
I said Id call
Made sure I did
I hate breaking promises

Im so glad I'm with you
Its such a relief
Dont think its not more than that

PreChorus
---------
Our lives coincide
Youre perfect for me
Spend as much time as we want together
And stil have time for other things
for other things

Chorus
-------
Oh, you are the girl by my side
Everything is now feeling fine
Oh and I know, that what we have is
comfortable in its own way

Verse
------
Youre so relaxing
Youre so warm
The stress just got up and gone

PreChorus
---------
Our lives coincide
Youre perfect for me
Spend as much time as we want together
And stil have time for other things
for other things

Chorus
--------
Oh, you are the girl by my side
Everything is now feeling fine
Oh and I know, that what we have is
comfortable in its own way

Bridge
-------
A girl finally came around that filled that empty space
that always seemed to be missing
I no longer need advice
I cant wait to see you tonight
Im so glad you feel the same, about me

PreChorus
---------
Our lives coincide
Youre perfect for me
Spend as much time as we want together
And stil have time for other things
for other things

Chorus
------
Oh, you are the girl by my side
Everything is now feeling fine
Oh and I know, that what we have is
comfortable in its own way
