Next Best Thing Lyrics

Lying beside you in a dream
and I guess I'm okay
whatever that means
toss and turn endlessly
and I just can't wait till I fall asleep
then I'll have you right
where I always wanted you to be
here with me

and it's the same song, I wanna feel something
when I'm tangled inside of your arms
and I will take any high now just to get me through
it's the next best thing to you

dying to find what this means
but I just can't face reality
I think I'm leaving this scene
oh I hate this place but I just can't leave
and into the night
will I ever fall asleep?
I'm in too deep

and it's the same song, I wanna feel something
when I'm tangled inside of your arms
and I will take any high now just to get me through
it's the next best thing to you

now I'm wasting my time having you on my mind
and I'll take any high just to feel alive
like I did with you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is simple...its a guy singing to his girlfriend how much he loves her, and he hates that their nights always have to end. Its an unrequited love song. I remember seeing the band live in 2006 with Poison, and I fell in love with the band. I was dating a girl at the time that swore that this song reminded her of me...she and I went to the show together, and it was an experience I will never forget, even though she and I are no longer together.It just shows a raw emotion, and how guys can be so in love with a girl that she is ALL he thinks about.
