Next Time Around
City living's mighty close
I wanna know what I can't know
I seen you from across the street
Chances are we'll never meet
But oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard
Can't tell between what I need and what I want, want
Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by, then go back to the start of it
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah
One day you might grab a seat
On the empty barstool next to me
Or you'll drop your books and I pick 'em up
When I hand them back, our fingers touch
Oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard
Can't tell between what I need and what I want, want
Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by, then go back to the start of it
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray that I might dream so deep
Of all the things that might have been
Or that right now might be happening
Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by, then go back to the start of it
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah
I wanna know what I can't know
I seen you from across the street
Chances are we'll never meet
But oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard
Can't tell between what I need and what I want, want
Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by, then go back to the start of it
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah
One day you might grab a seat
On the empty barstool next to me
Or you'll drop your books and I pick 'em up
When I hand them back, our fingers touch
Oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard
Can't tell between what I need and what I want, want
Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by, then go back to the start of it
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray that I might dream so deep
Of all the things that might have been
Or that right now might be happening
Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by, then go back to the start of it
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll get even closer the next time around, yeah
