The Next Best Thing

from Lost At Sea by James Hodder

/

lyrics

You want someone to love you
Someone to take his place
But the only thing you're looking for
Is someone with his face

I've tried so hard to tell you
But my words all come out wrong
I've crossed all the T's and I've parted the seas
Still he's the one you want
Still he's the one you want

Why not save it for someone who really loves you
Save it for someone to come along
Who's all that you need and nothing you want
Save it for the next best thing

You knew your days were numbered
When he took you by the hand
You'd be torn from the tree like the smallest of leaves
Broken like a grain of sand
Broken like a grain of sand

Why not save it for someone who really loves you
Save it for someone to come along
Who's all that you need and nothing you want
Save it for the next best thing

I tried so hard to tell you
But my words don't make a sound
They got lost on the breeze like a stone in the sea
Knowing that they won't be found
Knowing that they won't be found

Why not save it for someone who really loves you
Save it for someone to come along
Who's all that you need and nothing you want
Save it for the next best thing
