They leave us so, with no goodbye, to the way we took
Let's light a fire, make the forest glow
Watch the stars and the way they look
My heartbeat shakes the liquid in the cup you hold
Did your coffee get too cold?
You just pour it out and mark the ground
This is our ground

Seems like I was waiting to hear you say
"I'm right here next to you,"
Ok. I piece it together sometimes
When I'm right here next to you...Aha!

You purse your lips and blow the steam into my eyes
A tree beside the fire is bare,
So much better with no disguise
My heartbeat shakes the liquid in the cup you hold
And the branches in the cold
While a leaf drops down -the last one of the season

Seems like I was waiting to hear you say
"I'm right here next to you,"
Ok. I piece it together sometimes
When I'm right here next to you...Aha!
Seems like such a simple little thing to say -
"I'm right here next to you,"
Ok, but I could build a fortress with simple stones
Right here next to you, you know

Can you see me
Can you feel me
Can you hear me
Can you know me
Can you love me
Can you show me
Can you tell me
I'm right here next to you
