Next to Me - Columbus

Keep your head close

Your coffee breath on my neck

Clothes, lining the floor of your shoebox apartment

Like fresh snow in the garden

Your breath deep, but inside your chest

Your heart weeps since the day that they left

But you keep me dreaming

When you’re thinking of leaving

You packed your bags and said…

I’m sorry, but I need to leave

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

It hurts to stay, lips so bittersweet

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

Your shadow dances on the wall

As you lie still, your back to the world

Dreaming of summer, and those days with your lover

I see you pull off, your skin tight jeans

In the stupor of five am sleep

Your keys in your pocket

My cigarettes and your wallet

And I hear you whisper…

I’m sorry, but I need to leave

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

It hurts to stay, lips so bittersweet

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

Woah

I’m sorry, but I need to leave

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

It hurts to stay, lips so bittersweet

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep

With you next to me, with you next to me

With you next to me, I can’t get to sleep
