Next To You
Navigating Love's Rollercoaster: Matt Skiba's 'Next To You' Meaning
Lyrics
You're walking the thin line,
You're navigating a delicate situation,
between here and out of control,
In the space between control and chaos,
but you kept me in mind,
Yet, you remembered me,
you've got the papercuts to prove it,
You have physical evidence, like papercuts, to show for it,
and your sea sick smile,
Your smile, though uneasy, carries a sense of sweetness,
screams sweet nausea,
Expressing a pleasant discomfort or contradiction,
seventy six was a good year for me,
The year 1976 was positive for me,
its been uphill since and...
Life has been challenging but progressively better since then...
Chorus
< em > (Chorus)
Don't cry,
Encouraging not to cry,
or stop to wonder why,
Or dwell on the reasons for our downfall,
we crashed out like thunder,
We ended abruptly, like a loud crash,
on the floor or down from the ceiling,
In various positions, be it on the floor or descending from above,
it's been nice waking up next to you.
Despite the tumultuous past, waking up next to you has been pleasant.
And ya crossed the line,
You've crossed a significant boundary,
between here and out of this world,
Moving from the known into an extraordinary realm,
ya blow my mind,
You amaze me,
like a Colt forty five everytime,
Comparing the impact to the intensity of a Colt forty-five every time,
Chorus x2
< em > (Chorus repeated)
And our sea sick smiles,
Our uneasy smiles signify a sense of belonging,
are screaming home sweet home...
They proclaim that being with you feels like home.
