Next To You
Workers in Songs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Midnight train is rolling
with a pleasent silent screan
I can hear it in the distance
I can hear it in my dream
And as it crosses the country
I cross my heart
and kiss your head
'cause there is nowhere in this world
that I would rather be instead
Streets are getting empty
Yeah, they often do
Sundays even turn into someday new
I could live forever from this point of view
I could live forever next to you

I tried to turn you over
To the other side
But there's no smile upon your face
so I can't see you want me tonight
But I hope you will forgive me
that our two souls turned to one
and I pray to the lord above
that that day soon will come

I do things i regret
Yeah I often do
I try to be a better man than someone new




I even try to see it from your point of view
I tried to see it through you
