Next Time Around

City livin’s mighty close
I wanna know what I can’t know
I seen you from across the street
Chances are, we’ll never meet

But oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard
Can’t tell between what I need and what I want

Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by then go back to the start of it
Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around

One day you might grab a seat
On the empty barstool next to me
Or you’ll drop your books and I pick em up
When I hand them back, our fingers touch

Oh, when I fall, I fall good and I fall hard
Can’t tell between what I need and what I want

Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by then go back to the start of it
Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around
Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray that I might dream so deep
Of all the things that might have been
Or that right now might be happening

Goodbye sunshine, I see straight to the heart of it
We slide right by then go back to the start of it
Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around
Maybe we’ll get even closer the next time around
