Girl Right Next To Me

I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow
Cuz that's the way it is

You said hello
Where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I been off to war
And I may never be the same again

I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
Cuz you're tossing and turning, 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, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
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 the trap, I'd run like hell right back to you
Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
Cuz in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
She's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
