Next To You
Lake House Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving down the coast a little past ten
Don′t know where i'm going
Don′t know where i am
But i'm next to you

The beach is to my right
We made it to the 10
Driving back to sunset don't want these nights to end
When i′m next to you

Do you feel it
Do you feel this right now

After all this time we′re finally here
All this time we're finally in clear
All this time, all this time we′re here
Don't ever ever take it away
Don′t ever ever take it away

The exits up ahead we're driving through the night
Made it back to sunset everything′s alright
Cause i'm next to you

Got work tomorrow morning but drinks sound kind of nice
I think my boss might hate me but i'll be alright
Cause i′m next to you

Do you feel it
Do you feel this right now

After all this time we′re finally here
All this time we're finally in clear
All this time, all this time we′re here
Don't ever ever take it away
Don′t ever ever take it away

Don't ever ever take it away
Don′t ever ever take it away
Don't ever ever take it away

After all this time we're finally here
All this time we′re finally in clear
All this time, all this time we′re here
Don't ever ever take it away
After all this time we′re finally here
All this time we're finally in clear




All this time, all this time we′re here
Don't ever ever take it away
