Next to Me
Von Wnuk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving in the caddy
Thought that you'd be mine forever
I trust your instincts
But I should've known better
To not waste time
But I do
Just with you
So I'll take it slow
Don't let me go
But then you hold me close and tight
I know I won't change my mind
When you have your lips on mine
I know we can go all night
When you got your body close
Keep on wanting more and more
Keep your body next to me
Not one night
Just all week
Yeah not one night
Just all week
And keep your body next to me
Not one night
Just all week
And keep your body next to me
Driving down the coast at ten
Making out in front of friends
Bottom's up
Solo cup
We got that so-cal love
But then you hold me close and tight
I know I won't change my mind
When you have your lips on mine
I know we can go all night
When you got your body close
Keep on wanting more and more
Keep your body next to me
Not one night
Just all week
Yeah not one night
Just all week
And keep your body next to me
Not one night
Just all week
And keep your body next to me
Not one night just all week
I'm not sure how I feel
Don't know if this love is real
I'm not in fear
I'm not scared
Cause I know you'll be there
Yeah not one night
Just all week
And keep your body next to me
Not one night




Just all week
And keep your body next to me
