I Just Can't Get Next To You
Is it so hard to fill me in?
And then I see the latest bulletin
You’re alive with someone new.
Comprendo. I just can’t get next to you.
Do I ignore what’s on that phone
And that every venue’s a danger zone?
‘Cause I might as well slip on through.
Still baby I just can’t get next to you.
Catch The Keith Jarrett Trio up in Newport
Grab a flight down to New Orleans
Where I’ll indulge in some voodoo medicine.
I’ll try to be a good sport
‘Bout the widening of my jeans.
And in the morning not knowing where I’ve been.
As I’ve been graced by this fortune.
Straight from your arms, I am sent on this lone mission
Under skies that are so blue.
But baby, I just can’t get next to you.
You kept me hanging on the one act.
I’m a man of great extremes.
And with each layer of happiness I’m puttin’ on.
Deep down I know it ain’t the same since you’re gone.
I’ll be no fuss.
I’ll accept what is left of the two of us.
It is my fairest review
Considering the crazy things I do.
Cause baby I just can’t get next to you.
