Next to Me - Sleeping At Last

Oh our futures were written with crayons in coloring books

It was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked

Like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress

And the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness

I know since we've grown we ache for those memories

Honestly nothings even compared to you

Next to me next to me

When the words came to you for the first time you knew you were hooked

And the pride that you felt at the last page of your first book

And the bravery I forced when I sang to audience of three

Well it took a million wrong notes just to find a single melody and key

I know since we've grown we plea for clarity

Honestly nothing's ever made sense 'til you were

Next to me next to me

If time is money the I'll spend it all for you

I will buy you flowers with the minutes we outgrew

I'll turn hours into gardens planted just for us to take

I'll be reckless with my days building castles in your name

Since we've grown we long for concrete things

Honestly nothing's felt so sure than when you were

Next to me next to me

So lets cut down the red tape and gather up the pieces of our youth

Cause there's nothing in this world we can't fix with some scissors and glu
