Next to You

(ooh, oh) {soft rhodes piano,

intimate finger

snaps, warm sub-bass enters,

90 BPM, key of G major}

Staring at the screen,

watching your face fade

Counting every hour in the plans we made

Feels like thousands of miles between us tonight

But the warmth in your voice makes the dark feel bright

{clean acoustic guitar arpeggios,

laidback 16th-note hi-hats} Why do we feel so close,

on every single call?

Every time you speak,

my defenses fall (yeah) {synth pad swells,

gentle kick drum build} When I wanna be next to you,

but we are far apart

I keep your picture

right here in my heart I just wanna,

wanna be next to you

Tell me that you feel it,

tell me you do (wanna be next to you) {rich vocal harmonies,

full R&B beat, warm bassline} Two different time zones,

same night sky

Talking through the wires,

watching hours fly

No amount of distance can break this bond

Of every single word that we're hanging on {mellow electric guitar licks,

deep pocket pocket groove}

When I wanna be next to you,

but we are far apart

I keep your picture

right here in my heart I just wanna,

wanna be next to you

Tell me that you feel it,

tell

me you do (wanna be next to you) {rich vocal harmonies,

full R&B beat, high energy}

Even if the ocean lies between us now

We're gonna make it through,

we'll find a way somehow (somehow,

yeah) {stripped back instrumentation,

solo rhodes, passionate vocal belt}

I just wanna be next to you

Thousands of miles

But you're right here (ooh,

next to you)

{gently fading Rhodes, soft vocal ad-libs,

quiet snaps to silence}
