St. Lucia – Next To You lyrics

[Verse 1]
I fell asleep at the edge of the yard
With the nightingales and the broken cars
In the hope that you'd find me there someday
And musicians play at a bar across the street
And their lonely patrons are on their feet
But the night don’t give up that easy
And somewhere in a desert another bomb fell
And the architects they were giving them hell
In the boat that they sailed in 'til morning

[Chorus]
But anytime I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As I hear you breathing next to me

[Verse 2]
And millions of people keep checking their phones
As a Labrador keeps licking the bone
That it hid in the earth 5 years ago
The director tells the actress to say her lines quick
There ain’t no time here to overthink
The world’s changed, and it’s changing so quickly
And can’t we build a skyscraper 20 miles thick
And fill it up with all the shit that we bought
At the president’s impeachment sale

[Chorus]
But it’s alright when I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As the morning creeps in softly

Oh anytime I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As I hear you breathing next to me
