[Intro – Spoken Soft]
Yeah…
Clock tickin’ slow tonight
You already know what I’m on…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Girl I know you out here grindin’
Hair tied up, heels clickin’ on the pavement
Phone light glowin’, you smilin’
But I’m at home just anticipatin’
I ain’t trippin’ on your friends, no
Let ‘em laugh, let ‘em toast to you
But every minute you away, baby
Feel like hours till I’m close to you
Dinner gettin’ cold on the stove
Candles already lit
Got your favorite playlist low
I’m just waitin’ on my fix
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don’t wanna rush your vibe
Take your time, handle your life
But when that door unlock tonight
Girl I’ma hold you tight
Every text you send say “soon”
That just make me want you more
I’m pacing ‘round this living room
Heart knockin’ at the door
⸻
[Chorus]
I can’t wait to get next to you
Pull you close like I’m ‘posed to do
All that space don’t feel right
Till I’m layin’ there by your side
I can’t wait to get next to you
Let the world fade out the room
Long day, baby come through
I can’t wait to get next to you
⸻
[Light Chant – Layered Under Last Chorus Line]
(Soft background chant, rhythmic)
Next to you… next to you…
All I wanna do… next to you…
⸻
[Verse 2]
I know you out here bossin’
Meetings, moves, you flawless
Even when you with your girls
You still my favorite topic
Snapchat flashin’, you look fine
Got me smilin’ at my phone
But I’d trade all them pictures
Just to have you back home
I ain’t jealous, I’m just ready
For that moment when it’s us
When you kick them heels off slow
And fall right into my touch
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I respect your independence
That’s what made me fall for you
But independence don’t compare
To what we do when we alone
Soon as you say “On my way”
Girl my whole mood change
Heartbeat startin’ race
Countin’ down them minutes, babe
⸻
[Chorus]
I can’t wait to get next to you
Pull you close like I’m ‘posed to do
All that space don’t feel right
Till I’m layin’ there by your side
I can’t wait to get next to you
Let the world fade out the room
Long day, baby come through
I can’t wait to get next to you
⸻
[Bridge – Fire Harmonies Section 🔥]
(Lead soft, harmonies stacked wide L/R)
When you walk in…
Slow motion…
Everything freeze…
(Background harmonies:)
Oooohhhh… don’t keep me waiting
Oooohhhh… I’ve been patient
Lead:
Slide right here in my arms
Let me breathe you in
(Harmony lift:)
Don’t wanna sleep alone again
No no no no
All I need is skin to skin
That’s my medicine
(Full stacked harmony swell:)
Next to youuuu…
Next to youuuu…
That’s where I’m supposed to be
⸻
[Final Chorus – Bigger Bounce]
I can’t wait to get next to you
Pull you close like I’m ‘posed to do
All that space don’t feel right
Till I’m layin’ there by your side
I can’t wait to get next to you
Everything I want is you
Whole world cool, but the truth
Ain’t the same when I ain’t with you
⸻
[Outro – Soft Chant Fading]
Next to you…
Next to you…
Can’t wait… can’t wait…
Till I’m next to you…
