Next to You
Lou Canon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes and open my eyes to you
I wanna close my eyes and open my eyes to you
So stay the night or stay for life
You could stay the night or stay for life
Stay the night or stay for life

I wanna shut my body down
Next to you
I wanna feel you breath on my back
Next to you
I wanna hear what you're thinking at night
Next to you
I wanna see what you do when no ones around the way
I'll be next to you

You could stay the night or stay for life
You could stay the night or stay for life
You could stay the night or stay for life
You could stay the night or stay for life

And I close my eyes I see your face
When I open my eyes I wanna see your face

Stay the night
Stay for life
Stay the night
Stay for life

I wanna see what you do when no one's around but
Wait
I'll be next to you

You could stay the night or stay for life
You could stay the night or stay for life




Oh you could stay the night or stay for life
You could stay the night or stay for life
