Next To Me

Val Emmich

So when you found me i was incapacitated
Rarely made out my house
I filled my days with sleep, my nights with bad tv
And brainy books
I never cared to look around me

To see your open eyes, incapable of lies
They made me feel ashamed
To waste away
I had forgotten how addictive
Danger is
When you're with
When you're with the right accomplice

When you're next to me, nothing's safe, nothing's sound
Electricity, sparks falling all around
I feel the fire, i can hear the distant sirens
And we really should get out of this town
Before it all burns down

So now you woke me up, recruited me, and whipped me into shape
I chase, you lead, accessory, a willing partner in the crime
steep decline
up and down that rollercoaster
explosions in the sky
are they real or in my mind?

When you're next to me, nothing's safe, nothing's sound
Electricity, sparks falling all around
I feel the fire, i can hear the distant sirens
And we really should get out of this town
Before it all burns down

I got scars
from all the wreckage
Like stars
we still shine after we're gone

When you're next to me, nothing's safe, nothing's sound
Electricity, sparks falling all around
I feel the fire, i can hear the distant sirens
And we really should get out of this town
Before it all burns down
