Lie Next to Me by The Bengsons Lyrics

[SHAUN, spoken]
I had this crazy idea that when you capture enough moments, fix the details in your brain
A day can feel like a year
I mean like not metaphorically
I really believed we could create more time this way

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
For example: he took me on a walk from Chinatown to the Cloisters. We spent the whole walk memorizing moments

[SHAUN, spoken]
Taking mental pictures
To stretch out time, to remember
Like: kicking dry leaves in the parking lot, click. Pizza, click. Drinking dark beer to impress each other

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Click
We sneak into a hotel to use their pool. Wet skivvies in a plastic bag
(with Drum Click)
Click

[SHAUN, spoken]
We try to get to Coney Island to watch the sun rise
(Drum Click)
But we fall asleep on the N train and wake up back in Astoria
(Drum Click)
Dawn outside the subway window
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
(with Drum Click)
Click
I can't believe that was all one day
(Drum Click)
I say let's go up to the roof
Look at the city
But he calls me back to the bed

(Drum Click, Click, Click, Click)

[SHAUN]
Lie next to me
Lie next to me, lie next to me

Lie next to me, lie next to me
Lie next to me, lie next to me

I will long for you
Will you long for me
It's the only thing I will ever do
Do Oo Oo Oo

If I lay you down
Would you call my name
It's the only thing I will ever do
[SHAUN / ABIGAIL]
Do Oo Oo Oo

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
After two weeks of these long days
And long long nights

He finally pops the question:

[SHAUN, spoken]
Will you start a band with me?

[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Yes
