lyrics

Next Best Thing
(R. Soper)

Many times I’ve often thought
Things are better left unsaid
Choked down, on the words
Fear the truth is only in my head

On the outside looking in
Only a glimpse of your eye
And I wonder… I do wonder
If it’s a little virtue and vice

And it's a bit belated
My conscience can let me be

Oh I finally see what you're looking for
It's only now I truly see
That you're always, always waiting...
Waiting on the next best thing

Have you ever thought what it’s like
See yourself through another’s eyes
To finally see what this has been
Just one long goodbye

And I know it’s a bit belated
My conscience can set me free

Oh I finally see what you're looking for
It's only now that I truly see
That you're always, always waiting...
Waiting on the next best thing

Now it’s all so clear, nothing to say my dear
The center of your own affliction
I must now concede, surely to repeat
Your search is never to be done

Oh I finally see what you're looking for
It's only now that I truly see
That you're always, always waiting...
Waiting on the next best thing
(repeat)
