La Chica de La Habitación de Al Lado
Fran Perea
The Girl Next Door
Dawn surprised me
counting the lines of light that your blinds leave
I can't stop looking at your back marked by the sun and knowing that you are light-years away
being the girl next door
What you know about me
are just the puzzle pieces I can show you
I'm missing a piece of you, a gesture to beg you to stop seeing me
as that boy next door
In the meantime, we both have breakfast with glances every morning
Meanwhile, we are both lost reflections in your window
Being the girl next door
Being the girl next door
Sleeping wall to wall
Throwing kisses in the air that I never gave you
Jumping to the ground without a safety net
Dreaming of doors that won't open for me
I'm that boy next door
And when time passed
disillusioned, I couldn't keep waiting
I have to settle, there won't be a sign or place
And it's just that you
are simply
the girl next door
In the meantime, we both have breakfast with glances every morning
Meanwhile, we are both lost reflections in your window
Being the girl next door
Being the girl next door
You're the girl next door
Just the girl next door
From the room next door
