Lyrics Civil Twilight

Civil Twilight

Next To Me

You are my only escape

You are the reason that I wait

On the corner of this empty street

Oh, I just can't wait to meet

There's so much a man can do

There's so much a man can say

See, I have done so many things wrong

That you should have saw me away

I've got this second chance, I'm gonna take it

I've got this song and dance, I'm gonna take it

I've got all that I need and I can taste it

I've got you next to me, I don't want to waste it

You are my only embrace

You are the light that lights my face

Any fool would do the same

Oh, to follow in your trace

People come and people go

But I know I should have been replaced

I know it

I've got this second chance, I'm going to take it

I've got this song and dance, I'm going to take it

I've got all that I need and I can taste it

I've got you next to me and I don't want to waste it

I'm gonna take it

All that I can get

I'm gonna take it

It's beautiful, the way you move

The way you take me back

Here she comes, around the bend

She's coming to take me back

Oh, I've got this second chance, I'm going to take it

I've got this song and dance, I'm going to take it

I've got all that I need, I can taste it

I've got you next to me and I don't want to waste it

'Cause you are my only escape

You are the reason that I wait
