Next Time Around

City livin’s mighty close

I wanna know what I can’t know

I seen you from across the street

Chances are, we’ll never meet

But oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard

Can’t tell between what I need and what I want

Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it

We slide right by then go back to the start of it

Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around

One day you might grab a seat

On the empty barstool next to me

Or you’ll drop your books and I pick em up

When I hand them back, our fingers touch

Oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard

Can’t tell between what I need and what I want

Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it

We slide right by then go back to the start of it

Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around

Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around

As I lay me down to sleep

I pray that I might dream so deep

Of all the things that might have been

Or that right now might be happening

Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it

We slide right by then go back to the start of it

Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around

Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around
