next to you

(album: shot in the dark - 2023)

Bouquets of flowers fill my counter top
And bottles of champagne waiting to be popped
And my phone is filled up with congratulations
So many moments waiting to be framed

But the sun just started peaking through
And your arms are wrapped around me
In this shirt from middle school
Your Tecovas by the door
Half the covers on the floor
And I trace my fingers over your tattoos
Yeah I've been living dreams lately
But they don't hold a candle to
Waking up next to you

It's crazy to think you came so out of nowhere
And now everything feels different if you're not there
Yeah how can a person feel like coming home?
I thought I was always meant for sleeping alone

But the sun just started peaking through
And your arms are wrapped around me
In this shirt from middle school
Your Tecovas by the door
Half the covers on the floor
And I trace my finger over your tattoos
Yeah I've been living dreams lately
But they don't hold a candle to
Waking up next to you
Yeah waking up next to you
Next to you
Mm
