Standing Next to You (Original)

Описание: An original song I wrote in January, 2024.



Standing Next to You

You make it so easy to laugh,
to just be myself;
and there's no one else
that makes me feel this comfortable
in my own skin,
and I am beginning

to understand that it's not up to me.
Oh, I can finally see that love is not a choice
No, I can't just pretend that it's all in my head;
when I'm next to you, my heart makes too much noise.
So why did I try to avoid standing next to you?
Standing next to you.


You make it so easy to breathe.
You're a summer breeze
when it's winter and I'm freezing;
Always smiling like the sun as it shines,
you make gloomy days bright
and I'm drawn to your light.


I understand that it's not up to me.
Oh, I can finally see that love is not a choice
No, I can't just pretend that it's all in my head;
when I'm next to you, my heart makes too much noise.
So why did I try to avoid standing next to you?
Standing next to you. (X2)


There are days when it's quiet
and you sit there so silent,
and the rain's falling down so hard;
when I think to myself
that you almost got away
because I was afraid
of that moment where everything changes

I understand that it's not up to me.
Oh, I can finally see that love is not a choice
No, I can't just pretend that it's all in my head;
when I'm next to you, my heart makes too much noise.
So why did I try to avoid standing next to you?
Standing next to you. (X3)
