Next door heartbeat Lyrics

Home alone a quiet week ahead

My brother's gone and loneliness softly treads

A notification breaks the silence of my screen

It's you just a "Hey" simple and unseen

Next door heartbeat just a wall away

Fate plays gently on this unexpected day

Words exchanged slowly growing deep and wide

In the calm of our homes our worlds collide

Pre-meet jitters a few beers down the line

Your face lights up across the doorstep line

Your apartment a mirror of your care

In its warmth you pull up a chair

Hours of talking time slips through our hands

From favorite shows to life's unplanned demands

Almost midnight reluctant to part

You mention sleep a hint of a start

Back in my space discussions with my kin

Disappointment voiced over what might have been

But then your message a door reopens wide

"If you had asked" I smile can't hide

Next door heartbeat just a wall away

Fate plays gently on this unexpected day

Words exchanged slowly growing deep and wide

In the calm of our homes our worlds collide

A snap in the night an invitation unmade

I said I'd have stayed in the game we played

Back across the hallway under the moon's soft gleam

We find ourselves sharing more than a dream

Hours of talking time slips through our hands

From favorite shows to life's unplanned demands

Almost midnight reluctant to part

You mention sleep a hint of a start
