Lyrics Next to Me - The Rigs

Next to Me

Goin' through the motions of a love we had,
Cause maybe it’s all we know,
But ghosts aren’t supposed to have so much flesh and bone,
Lookin' at an echo of music made,
But the band has long gone home,
And here we stand in the silence so far from home.
How can I miss you when you’re right here next to me,
Oh I miss you and you’re right here next to me.
We could make love for a thousand years,
But your skin won’t reveal your heart,
I miss the days when the two weren’t so far apart,
The lips that used to speak of love,
Are the same that kiss me now,
But kisses turned into walls to keep me out.
How can I miss you when you’re right here next to me,
Oh I miss you and you’re right here next to me.
You can take the hand you hold
And warm it with your own,
But all I feel is a heart that’s growing cold,
Once we were a fairy tale of love beyond this world,
Now we’re just a story no one once told.
How can I miss you when you’re right here next to me,
Oh I miss you and you’re right here next to me.
