About This Track

‘Side Effects’ by JOSEPH is an alternative track from the album ‘Good Luck, Kid’. Released in 2019, it turns post-conflict tenderness into a litany of small returns, from coffee and kissing to meeting again after too long apart. The lyric voice frames what’s been lost and what remains as a kind of continuing arrangement, insisting that the “side effects” are wanted for life, even as the relationship feels bruised but intact.

"Side Effects" is a track by JOSEPH, from the album Good Luck, Kid, released 12th September 2019. The track is 3:43 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Side Effects

First cup of coffee after a long night
First kiss after a bitter fight
First time we see each other after too much time
Something's gone but we're still here and it's alright

If this is a drug keep me prescribed
These are the side effects I want for life

You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move

First note you played on that midnight piano
Our voices raised, holding the stars in place
The first mile on the first road where we let go
First time we let our hearts race

If this is a drug keep me prescribed
These are the side effects I want for life

You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move

I know this moment is following the last one out
Can't seem to hold it down
But I hope it stays around
I don't wanna move

You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
You make me feel like heaven needs to take it's time
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
I don't wanna move
