Next to You

[Verse 1]

I fell asleep at the edge of the yard

With the nightingales and the broken cars

In the hope that you'd find me there someday

And musicians play at a bar across the street

And their lonely patrons are on their feet

But the night don’t give up that easy

And somewhere in a desert another bomb fell

And the architects they were giving them hell

In the boat that they sailed in 'til morning

[Chorus]

But anytime I fall asleep next to you

We turn off the lights and look up at the stars

And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark

As I hear you breathing next to me

[Verse 2]

And millions of people keep checking their phones

As a Labrador keeps licking the bone

That it hid in the earth 5 years ago

The director tells the actress to say her lines quick

There ain’t no time here to overthink

The world’s changed, and it’s changing so quickly

And can’t we build a skyscraper 20 miles thick

And fill it up with all the shit that we bought

At the president’s impeachment sale

[Chorus]

But it’s alright when I fall asleep next to you

We turn off the lights and look up at the stars

And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark

As the morning creeps in softly

Oh anytime I fall asleep next to you

We turn off the lights and look up at the stars

And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark

As I hear you breathing next to me

[Outro]

I'll be lookin' at you girl

I'll be lookin' at you girl

And I'll be lookin' at you
