Next Year
Sun-Dried Vibes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll drive back home alone
The road I know you know
Please take your time my dear
I'll be around next year

Next year

Late night, small fights

Dim lights, long flights
Close friends, weekends
Weak knees, deep end
Small talks, long walks
Cold wind, deep thoughts
Sunrise, her eyes
Dashboard, blue skies

Get it wrong get it right
Feel in love feel alright
Feel your hands through my hair
Breathe it in feel the air
I don't know where I am
But I know where I've been
I've been alone
I've enough
I've been to low
I've been in love

I've been with you

Late night, small fights
Dim lights, long flights
Close friends, weekends
Weak knees, deep end
Small talks, long walks
Cold wind, deep thoughts

Sunrise, her eyes
Dashboard, blue skies
