In the Next Room Lyrics

There you go, messin' with my mind
I am usually better when I lie
There I go, stuck inside a shell
And you're living on the other side
A lovers carousel
If you only knew

Oh, I lose control
When I hear your body move
Through the walls
In the next room
Oh, I lose control
When I hear your body move
And I'm dying to break through
To the next room

You make love to everything you touch
It's a natural reaction
It's a sexual attraction
You play me like I am made of strings
I'm the violin, a melody
I want your lips to sing
If you only knew
How hard it is to handle
How bad I want this scandal

Tell me 'my world revolves around you'
Tell me 'boy I can't live without you'
Tell me 'you're losing sleep tonight'
'Cause I'll tell you straight
I'll never wait
I won't take
No no no no no no no no

Oh, my heart You stole
Every time your body moves
I'm just dying to break through
To the next room

I lose control
My heart your stole

Tyler Glenn said that this song is based on his own lust for a girl that used to live next door to him. It makes sense. Great song, even greater band

I always thought this song was talking about a guy who had a really good friend that he liked a lot. He could never get the courage to tell her though because he was afraid of the rejection. He just sat idle while she dated countless guys. All he could do is sit and watch her from afar but wanted to just run and sweep her off her feet.

After reading the previous comment, I can now see the song was a little more literal than that and he was actually talking about his next door neighbor. same concept still applies though --> a girl he really wants but cant have / doesnt have the courage to ask out.

He sits in his room and all he can hear is the banging on the wall from her having sex with countless guys. He know she is a slut but every time he hears it, all he wants to do is run over there and steal her away. HE wants to be the guy copulating with her, not that other guy. She probably teases him too. Flirting all the time and such.

i think this song is about a guy who really likes a skank ("you make love to everything you touch"), and so he loses control when he hears her "doing it".
