lyrics

Why aren’t you next to me your friends are fine you could’ve been here hours ago
Just leave them at the bar

Cool air at night time, bites like a hindsight
Your eyes were so bright While I walked back from town
Our joined breath fades like a neighborly façade
I don’t like your braids but now you’re who I want

I didn’t care who all I wanted was some company
Your thoughts were new your face was nice and kindly looked at me
You moved away I let you go you crawled to my friend
You know I’d never do a thing like that

Even the sex isn’t good when you’re not in love
You want the best for us but I just want the best for you
I wish I had as much control as the traffic lights
At least released from the seatbelt in the cab’s back seat

Why aren’t you next to me (every single day)
