"Beside You In Time" is the twelfth track on the 2005 release With Teeth. It starts fairly quiet and retains its tempo and volume until about two-thirds of the way through the song, when it decelerates to a stop. It then comes back in, at its original tempo, louder than it was, building to a loud, fast finale that dies down and fades into the final track, "Right Where It Belongs."

Live

On the Fall 2005 and Winter 2006 legs of the Live: With Teeth tour, a curtain is dropped down in front of the stage as lights pulsate both on the screen and behind the stage. The band can be seen silhouetted against the back lights. As the song builds to its climax, Trent Reznor can be seen lifting his microphone stand, swinging it at the curtain at the song's climax as it shows a shattering glass effect and lifts, revealing the stage once again.

Lyrics

    I am all alone this time around
    Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
    Places parallel I know it’s you
    Feel the little pieces bleeding through
    This goes on
    And on
    And on
    
    Now that I’ve decided not to stay
    I can feel me start to fade away
    Everything is back where it belongs
    I will be beside you before long
    This goes on
    And on
    And on
    
    We will never die
    Beside you in time
