Next to You Songtext
von Bright Light Bright Light

Lights go up, lights come down. Show is over so, what now?
No-one writes the words we′re meant
To say, so silent: that's how we stay

Turn a corner. Drop you home.
Don′t know why we keep doing this to ourselves
When we feel, when we know,
The horse is dead, we just don't like saying goodbye.

I never feel lonely when I'm on my own
The way I feel lonely when I′m standing next to you.
I never think to cry when I′m by myself
It's all I can think to do when I′m standing next to you.


Life goes on day by day. Lines of songs seem to change:
Speak much louder,
Make more sense as I see that I'm living without you.
There′s no pain like a heart trying to keep from falling apart
(At least in public,
So to the eye the show goes on and we don't have to say goodbye)

I keep a picture of when we met
On the bedside table in my head
I made a promise that I would never hurt you
So now, how can I start to say goodbye?

Lights go up, lights go down, the show is over

Loneliness is a song in my head, and this is what it sounds like.
