"Next Best Thing" lyrics

That moon is going down too fast
Like the red wine in that glass
Like take it slow, already knows
It's too late for there

When I smell that summer on your skin
I wanna make you promises
Tried holding back, we ain't good at that
'Cause letting go just don't feel right

If we ain't high, if we ain't high
Why's it hard to breathe?
If goodnight means goodnight
Why can't we leave?
All I know is when you're close
It don't feel like a mystery
If this ain't love, if this ain't love
Something's telling me

We got the next best thing
We got the next best thing

I've been wrong enough for long enough
To know that I don't know what's what
'Bout calling it what I think it is
But when you hit me with a kiss

I'm falling like a shooting star
I'm wishing you would go too far
I'm as fallen as I've ever been
No second guessing anything

If we ain't high, if we ain't high
Why's it hard to breathe?
If goodnight means goodnight
Why can't we leave?
All I know is when you're close
It don't feel like a mystery
If this ain't love, if this ain't love
Something's telling me

We got the next best thing
We got the next best thing

You and I, you and I
Maybe we're meant to be

If we ain't high, if we ain't high
Why's it hard to breathe?
If goodnight means goodnight
Why can't we leave?
All I know is when you're close
It don't feel like a mystery
If this ain't love, if this ain't love
Something's telling me

We got the next best thing
We got the next best thing
