The Last Shadow Puppets - "Standing next to me" (lyrics)

What a sound! One of the best songs I have heard for the last years...

Listen to it and tell me what you think...

Lyrics

.

You want to have her

Two years have gone now

But I can't relate

To the never ending

Games that you play

As desire passes through

And you're open

To the truth

I hope you understand

And your love

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

.

The one you fell for

But it's seemed you deny

And you laugh

At yourself

Again and again

But as you drink

To the thoughts

She'll remember you

Maybe tomorrow

.

And your love

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

And your love

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

.

You want to have her

Two years have gone now

But I can't relate

To the never ending

Games that you play

As desire passes through

Then you're open

To the truth

I hope you understand

.

And your love

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

Is standing next to me

Lyrics

.

I know that I've been mad in love before

And how it could be with you

Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby

How can you have a day without a night

You're the book that I have opened

And now I've got to know much more

.

The curiousness of your potential kiss

Has got my mind and body aching

Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby

How can you have a day without a night

You're the book that I have opened

And now I've got to know much more

.

Like a soul without a mind

In a body without a heart

I'm missing every part (x5)

Lyrics

.

I remember a summer's day

I remember walking up to you

I remember my face turned red

And I remember staring at my feet

I remember before we met

I remember sitting next to you

And I remember pretending I wasn't looking

.

So we'll try and try

Even if it lasts an hour

With all our might

We'll try and make it ours

Cause we're on our way

We're on our way to fall in love

.

I remember your old guitar

I remember I Can't Explain

I remember the way it looked around your neck

And I remember the day it broke

I remember the song you sang

I remember the way you looked tonight

And I remember the way it made me feel

.

So we try and try

Even if it lasts an hour

With all our might

We'll try and make it ours

Because we're on our way

We're on our way to fall in love

.

You'll try and try even if it lasts an hour

With all our might try and make it ours

Cause we're on our way to fall in love.

Yeah we're on our way to fall in love.

We're on our way to fall in love.

We're on our way to fall in love.
