Songs: Next To Me

notes / gigs / releases

She's making noises again
That means she's gone to sleep
I'm gonna fall out of bed
If she keeps on pushing me

And as I lie here wide awake at midnight
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Clinging onto the duvet for dear life
With her next to me

A chorus of car alarms
A post-club row on the street
A taxi blowing his horn
And next door with his drum machine

As as I lie here wide awake in the night
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Listening to a city staying alive
With her next to me

I'm never gonna get to sleep
I'm never gonna get to sleep
I'll have to make myself a cup of tea
Where's all this sunlight come from?

She's turning over again
She's on my side of the bed
She's in my territory
I welcome the invading leg

And when I finally manage opening my eyes
There's nowhere else I'd rather being
Being the first today to look at her smile
Because she's next to me
