St. Lucia - Next To You [Acoustic]

I fell asleep at the edge of the yard
With the nightingales and the broken cars
In the hope
That you'd find me there someday

Musicians play at a bar across the street
And their lonely patrons are on their feet
But the night
Don't give up that easy

And somewhere in a desert another bomb fell
And the architects, they were giving them hell
In the boat
That they sailed in 'till morning

But anytime I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As I hear you breathing next to me

Millions of people keep checking their phones
As a Labrador keeps licking the bone
That it hid
In the earth five years ago

Director tells the actress to say her lines quick
There ain't no time here to overthink
The world's changed
And it's changing so quickly

And can't we build a skyscraper twenty miles thick
And fill it up with
All the shit that we bought
At the president's impeachment sale

But it's alright when I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As the morning creeps in softly

Oh, anytime I fall asleep next to you
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
As I hear you breathing next to me, oh

'Cos I'll be looking at you, girl
Why am I looking at you, girl?
Why am I looking at you?
