Next to You

City lights, I’m wide awake
Every turn’s a chance I take
I was searching through the blue
Didn’t know that I’d find you

Midnight radio, windows down
Every street just stretching out
I was moving without a map
Till our paths just overlapped

Moving through the night alone
Every dream felt half-unknown
Then you came into my view
And the sky just broke right through

Nothing’s gonna stop us now
Feel it rising, feel it now
Every open road somehow
Leads me straight to you
Hand in hand, we’re standing tall
Seeing things I never saw
Every dream I held somehow
Feels alive with you
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

Every mile just brought me here
Every laugh erased the fear
I was fine, but incomplete
Till your world came into view

Late-night talking, losing track
Every word just brings me back
I don’t know where this will go
But I know I can’t go slow

I thought love was something rare
Something good but never there
Then you turned and smiled my way
And it changed everything

Nothing’s gonna stop us now
Feel it when you’re next to me
All the doubts just fade somehow
When I’m next to you
Side by side, we face the light
Taking chances for the first time
Everything I never knew
Was waiting here with you
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

If the lights go out tonight
You’re the flame that finds my spark
When the road is out of sight
We burn brighter in the dark

Nothing’s gonna stop us now
Look how high we’re climbing now
Every moment feels allowed
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
I was searching through the blue
Never knowing what I’d do
Now I’m holding onto you
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
