Next to You (Parker's Song)

Verse 1 I was wasting time in a dark and empty room

Just a lonely drifter running from the gloom

Staring at the floor, praying for the rain

Looking for a way to wash away the pain

Then you blew in like a sudden summer storm

Parker, your wild spirit made my cold heart warm (so warm)

Chorus

'Cause I found the girl of my dreams (found my dream)

You’re the only good thing busting at the seams (at the seams)

No more waking up alone inside my head

Reaching for a memory in an empty bed

Yeah, my long-shot gamble finally came through (came through)

My wildest dream is standing next to you (next to you)

Verse 2 You’ve got a laugh that takes away the sting

Sobering my worries, changing everything (everything)

I used to think that freedom meant a highway with no end

But I was just a fool with broken bones to mend

Now my keys are on your table, my boots are on your floor

Parker, I ain't looking for the exit anymore (no more)

Chorus

'Cause I found the girl of my dreams (found my dream)

You’re the only good thing busting at the seams (at the seams)

No more waking up alone inside my head

Reaching for a memory in an empty bed

Yeah, my long-shot gamble finally came through (came through)

My wildest dream is standing next to you (next to you)

Bridge

The past is just a trail of smoke fading in the pines (in the pines)

Just a bunch of wrong turns to get here right on time

Right where the road ends and the heavy burdens fall

With the girl who taught me how to finally give my all (give it all)

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Yeah, I found the girl of my dreams (found my dream)

You’re the only good thing busting at the seams (at the seams)

No more waking up alone inside my head

Reaching for a memory in an empty bed

Yeah, my long-shot gamble finally came through (Lord, it came through)

My wildest dream is standing next to you (next to you)

Outro

Standing right next to you, Parker (right next to you)

No more running from the dark

No more chasing down the wind (chasing the wind)

Just your wild heart and mine until the end (till the end)

Yeah, I found you (found you)

Parker, I found you
