Beside You
MATOMA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even though I'm tired
I wait up for a while
I just want your skin against mine
Baby, once you show up
I ain't gotta say much
You know what I got on my mind

Hit every inch of my heart like an overdose
I guess a shot in the dark ain't impossible
And now I'm wrapped in your arms, baby, hold me close
Don't you let me go, let me go

Oh, never thought this could be real
They don't know what I do
It's heaven right beside you
And they'll never know how good it feels
'Cause they don't feel what I do
How the hell did I find you?
Oh, never thought this could be real
They don't know what I do
It's heaven right beside you
And they'll never know how good it feels
'Cause they don't feel what I do
How the hell did I find you?
It's heaven right beside you

Baby, have I told you
That even when I'm sober
The thought of you is getting me high
I'm caught up in the moment
It's hard to keep my focus
When you're the only thing on my mind

Hit every inch of my heart like an overdose
I guess a shot in the dark ain't impossible
And now I'm wrapped in your arms, baby, hold me close
Don't you let me go, let me go

Oh, never thought this could be real
They don't know what I do
It's heaven right beside you
And they'll never know how good it feels
'Cause they don't feel what I do
How the hell did I find you?
It's heaven right beside
(It's heaven right beside)
(It's heaven right beside)

Like an overdose
(It's heaven right beside)
Don't you let me go, let me go

Oh, never thought this could be real
They don't know what I do
It's heaven right beside you
And they'll never know how good it feels
'Cause they don't feel what I do
How the hell did I find you?




It's heaven right beside
It's heaven right beside
