Next to me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You paint your body with emotions
With a little left to stain your sleeves
You’re the kind of girl who scared to ever see the spotlight
But once you’re there you never leave
We keep dancing ‘round this prospect
Of crossing borders meant for friends
Well, i’ve gotta admit that i’m done with it
And i’m ready to break that bridge baby
Even if it means the end…ohh
It’s like being in love when i’m with you… woah
And when we’re apart you’re on my mind
So let’s go ahead and deal with the issue
And tonight let’s try to never say goodbyeeeee
Cause i don’t wanna fall asleep, if i can’t feel you next to me
I don’t wanna fall asleep at all
I don’t wanna fall asleep, if i can’t feel you next to me
I don’t wanna fall asleep at all…
At all, at all… yeah… oh, oh…
The morning after, what a picture
The sunlight sneakin’ through the blinds
Smilin’ faces we fight for space among the pillowcases
Defenseless bodies, intertwined… oh…
Just imagine a life in the fast lane
I won’t slow down, no stop and go
We’ll get this love takin’ off like a jet plane
And when you said to get on board, baby, let me know
Please forgive me if i’m coming on too strong
I hide behind my confidence, and you known all along
I’m a mess with conversations, but i’m messier with patience
So let me hit the road this time and i’ll make it worth your while… oh
Cause i don’t wanna fall asleep, if i can’t feel you next to me
I don’t wanna fall asleep at all
I don’t wanna fall asleep, if i can’t feel you next to me
I don’t wanna fall asleep at all… at all, at all… yeah… oh, oh…
