Lyric

In a cafe booth, a movie seat

Or walking on the city street

I realize I always choose the spot that's on your left

It’s not a lie to say "I like this side the best"

But the real reason... is something I have kept

They say the human mind, by its design

Sees the world to the left as a little more divine

When I found out about this simple trick of chemistry

A single, certain feeling started growing deep in me

Yeah, it's a secret of the mind, I'm using it for you

So your right brain will notice me and see my point of view

I won't just wait around for destiny to play its part

That's why I'm always on your left, to get a head start

I'm gonna be your one and only "Left Side Story"

In every group photo, I'll casually slide

To stand right there, forever by your side

My gaze was once just drifting to the left for anyone

But now I'm only searching for your left, you are the one

(Beat simplifies, atmospheric synth pads enter)

And if you ever wonder, if you ever ask me "why?"

"Why are you always on my left?" with a question in your eye

I won't just laugh it off, I'll tell you everything I feel

"I just wanted you to be the first to know that I am real."

Yeah, it's a secret of the mind, I want you to turn to me

I want to be imprinted on your brain for all to see

This isn't a coincidence, it's the only plan I've got

That's why I'm always on your left, it's my favorite spot

I'm gonna be your one and only "Left Side Story"

The right side just won't do it

And facing you is too much for my heart

This place right here is perfect

Just to your left, a brand new start
