Next To You

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 all 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

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

And millions of people keep checking their phones

As a Labrador keeps licking the bone that it hid in the earth five 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 we build a skyscraper 20 miles thick 

And fill it up with all the shit that we bought

At the president’s impeachment sale?

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
