You Next To Me (Reimagined by CenturyNew)

Your hands on the wheel in the dark The radio found a song we knew You turned it up I came in on the next line Cold air through the open window Fence posts slipping past Your thumb kept time Then stopped I'd loved you long before I could say so I let the words stay down I watched your face in the dashboard glow And still I felt safest with you The road kept moving Something between us did not For once I liked the sound of my heart For once my mind went quiet Quiet, for a little while I still feel you next to me You next to me (Next to me) I could have stayed inside that feeling Just a little longer Streetlights ran soft across the glass The red clock kept counting I had already waited years You put your hand over mine You said my name My breath slowed down My fingers let go of the seat Everything felt less like falling apart When you turned and smiled at me The traffic moved beyond us You kept one hand on the wheel I let myself believe Nothing outside could reach this car Then the turn came closer You kept driving I knew I could not stay For once I liked the sound of my heart (Ooh, my heart) For once my mind went quiet Quiet, for a little while I still feel you next to me You next to me (Next to me) I could have stayed inside that feeling All my life I loved you before you were mine I loved you in silence for years And when you finally held me I thought that was the end of the fear I thought calm could keep us there I thought wanting it was enough I would trade what I know now To be back on that road Before the song went low Before you stopped meeting my eyes Before the air changed in the car Before it happened (Before it happened) Before Before For once I liked the sound of my heart For once my mind went quiet Quiet, for a little while I still feel you next to me You next to me (Next to me) I still feel you Next to me Stay there... I still feel you Still
