Next To Me

I’ll try to write it all down again

It was wrong so many times before

Words roll through my mind

Telling the story of me walking

In the shadows looking for you

 

Replaying all the things I didn’t say

Sleeping in the dark reaching for you

I long for you to be next to me

The space is cold and empty, without you

 

Without you I run wild

Through the mist and fog

Back to the time when you loved me

Back to the time when you were next to me

When you were next to me

Next to me, next to me

 

I’ve tried my best to get you out of my mind

Tried to forget the warmth of you by my side

Your ghost follows me in the night

Whispering the words, I never told you

All I want is your body next to mine

 

Release the locks that bind me

Trace the lines to find the key

Alone with echoes of your voice

Trapped in the chaos with no choice

 

Without you I run wild

Through the mist and fog

Back to the time when I loved you

Back to the time when you were next to me

When you were next to me

When you were next to me

Next to me, next to me, next to me
