Description Man on the Side
By John Mayer

six numbers, one more to dial
before I'm before you
I tried to call
been busy all night
gave up waiting at daylight

excuse me Mrs. Busybody
could you pencil me in when you can
though we both know that the worst part about it
is I would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me

I am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
life as the man on the side

one of the many
one of the few
to stand back and wait for you

excuse me Mrs. Busybody
could you pencil me in when you can
though we both know that the worst part about it
is I would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me, if you wanted me

I am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man on the side
Life as the man on the side

I fell in love with the dream that I built of you
playing the part of the queen
taking my own advice
I'm giving up tonight
good luck to you and the king

excuse me Mrs. Busybody
could you pencil me in
though we both know that the worst part about it
is I would be free when you wanted me
if you wanted me, if you wanted me

I am the man on the side
hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
life as the man
you know life as the man
living life as the man on the side

Yay! Finally done! Though the background kinda sucks (I'm way too lazy to make it look good). This was for a fanart contest that involved music... so I decided to draw something that'd be relevant to these lyrics.

Thanks so much to all who helped and gave suggestions about what I should do w/ the background!

Aww! Thanks!

Yeah, I love that song because it's so perfect for Allen x Shion! I suggest you get a hold of it and listen to it.

... D:

Allen, first of all, needs to get a new wardrobe. And a new swimsuit. There is no excuse for that swimsuit.

.. And THEN he needs to make a move. Screw coffee, KISS THE GIRL.

... -<3 Allen muchly- Wonderful job. I've never been all too wonderful at realism, or backgrounds. .. Or coloring, for that matter. Or poses. Or--

Oh it's beautiful! I love how behind Allen is the data for KOS-MOS.
It's so pretty && lovely. Aw..man, i've always felt so bad for Allen since he just needs to tell her how he feels. Le sigh. You captured him so well

*Laughs* Poor Allen...how he desperatly longs for Miss Shion. :3 Oooh, I how you made Shion's black top look like it's made out of that PVC-Vinyl stuff! That's a cool looking effect. Oh my, I wonder if Shion will ever acknowledge the feeling of her co-worker. Sometimes I do believe she does, but ignores it.

Hehe, I like the background.....esspecially the screen behind Allen that says data on KOS-MOS. Shion looks very pretty...but jeez...O_o Did Namco hire perverts or something?

I love how you did Shion's hair and skin! So...shiny. Awwww....and the lyrics fit so well with Allen's love for Shion.

Beautiful! I love the emotion in the pic, and the coloring is perfect! *envies your skills*

Shion's new outfit looks... nice (I like the fluffy, but it's too revealing!). -_-' Having Allen with that soft, longing looks just seems so right. I wonder if he'll finally fess up in the third game...?

Again, wonderful job!

It looks really good. I wish i could make my digital art look like that.
They look familiar, but i'm not positive on who they are.
