Next To You
The Province Lyrics

You say I matter
You claim I have importance in your life.

so why do you try and shatter
So why do you intentionally hurt me?

every piece of me
All aspects of my being.

I know it takes two
I am aware that a relationship involves effort from both parties.

but you know I can't be there with you
But you understand that I cannot physically be with you.

and that's all I wanna be
And that is my one desire.

I said i'm sorry but
I apologized, but

i just can't get enough
I am unable to satisfy my emotional needs.

cause you belong to me
Because I feel like you are mine.

but how does it feel
I wonder how it feels.

to pretend i'm not real
To act as though I do not exist.

when the distance between
As the distance separating us grows,

just isn't ideal
Our situation is not desirable.

so just open your eyes
Therefore, please observe the reality.

a day at a time
One day at a time, step by step.

and i'm closer
We will be nearer each other.

to being next to you
To be physically near to you.

the worst part of it all
The most unfortunate aspect of the situation.

is that i keep building this wall
Is that I continually construct a barrier.

to push me away from you
To distance myself from you.

but i want you to break it
However, I want you to tear it down.

to show me that we can make it
To demonstrate that our relationship can be successful.

cause that's all i wanna do
Because that is my main aspiration.

i know that i'd make you mine
I am certain that I could make you mine.

if you would just make the time
If only you could allocate time for me.

you say that you need me
You express that you require me in your life.

it's never that easy
However, it is never that uncomplicated.

oooo ohhh
Vocalizing sounds expressing emotions.

oooo
Continued vocalizing sounds.

and i'm closer to
And we are getting nearer

being next to you
To be physically close to you.

ohhh
Additional vocalizing expressions of emotions.

oh oh
More vocalizing sounds.
