Girl Right Next To Me Lyrics
You changed my face
I think I like it better now.
It doesn't matter anyhow cuz that's the way it is.
You said hello
Well where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war
and I may never be the same again.
I made my bed
And now I can't sleep at night.
Cause I'm tossin and turnin you know you know it ain't right.
I'd love to beg
See but I'm just too proud.
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud.
And when you dream 17,
I ain't there, so I don't care.
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23,
And she's the girl right next to me.
See that girl right next to me.
I lie in my bed,
You're running through my head.
Going over and over and over, the things that you said.
I'm caught in a trap,
I'll run like hell right back to you.
Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone.
"Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone"
that's a really great line.
I'm caught in a trap, I'll run like hell right back to you. Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone. i LOVE that part best.... this song.. ahh i love it... just listening to it is awesome
why has practically NO ONE COMMENTED ON THIS SONG! its absolutly amazing, and i love it. "id love to beg, see im just too proud. and i dont even know what to say so im thinking out loud" is just such a great line. so true and real. excellent.
i really like this song. as with all their songs, it sounds so honest. but i dont understand it. in most of their songs, they sound like they're understanding and empathizing with whomever the song is about. but in this one, he almost sounds like he's saying "too bad its your problem sux to be you." especially with that line "and when you dream 17, I ain't there so I don't care. Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23, and she's the girl right next to me." Like he's telling her harshly to move on and get over him, because he's moved on already. but then hat doesnt fit in with the last part where he runs back to her. i dunno. maybe he's talking about his past when he talks about the 17/23 thing, and then he realizes that after trying to shake her off for so long, in the end he needs her anyway. bittersweet, i dunno,
I loooooooooooove that! is it about a guy who realised that hius love was..too young for him..like mentaly , he just left ..but then he came back and he doesn't know what to say..well maybe not Lol...hM..whatever !
This song isn't negative at all it is about a guy who meets a girl who changes him forever whether or not they stay together he can not forget her. and maybe it is just about a rough part of a relationship a rocky part where two lovers are fighting. And coming to realize that the other person makes you happy and it is worth all the bumps in the road to be with that person.
this is my favorite song by the goo goo dolls. they lyrics and the song are amazing. it just makes me feel so good after listening to it. =)
.....great song!
Great song. The first two lines especially hit me.
This is like such an awesome song. Love the lyrics.
And when you dream 17, I ain't there, so I don't care. Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23, And she's the girl right next to me.
Holy crap... the guitar solo is flat out sick.
Don't quite understand the lyrics, though.
