Next To You
Andrew T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long
I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong
My first love was my true love and it should have been my last
The only time I'm happy when I'm dreaming in the past

Next time you fall in love
It better be with me
The way it used to be
Back then was when
We touched the starlight

Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you is right
And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night
The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn
And broken hearts can be repaired, that's something that you learn

Next time you fall in love
It better be with me
The way it used to be
Back then was when
We touched the starlight

I've re-lived every moment that i ever shared with you
What fools we were to end a dream that looked like coming true

Next time you fall in love
It better be with me
The way it used to be

Back then was when
We touched the starlight

Next time you fall in love
It better be with me
The way it used to be
Back then was when
We touched the starlight

I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long
I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong
My first love was my true love and it should have been my last
The only time I'm happy when I'm dreaming in the past

Next time you fall in love
It better be with me
The way it used to be
Back then was when
We touched the starlight

Next time you fall in love
It better be with me
The way it used to be




Back then was when
We touched the starlight

Overall Meaning

In "Next to You," Andrew T sings of the pain and regret that comes from failing to keep love alive. He reflects on his past relationships and how he always seemed to find the wrong answers to keep them going. He recalls his first love, which he now realizes should have been his last, and how he only feels happy when he is dreaming of the past. Through it all, the singer hopes that if his former lover ever falls in love again, it will be with him. He yearns for the way things used to be, when they "touched the starlight" and life was full of promise.


The lyrics to "Next to You" are reflective, nostalgic, and wistful. The imagery of touching the starlight suggests a sense of wonder and magic that has been lost. The singer's message is that love is precious and should be cherished, and that it's worth fighting for even when it seems difficult or impossible. By holding onto the hope that his former love will return to him, Andrew T shows that he is willing to do whatever it takes to rekindle the flame that once burned between them.


Line by Line Meaning

I guess I'm not too good at keeping love alive for long
I am not skilled at maintaining long-lasting love relationships


I think I've found the answers but the answer's always wrong
I attempt to solve love problems, but my solutions do not work


My first love was my true love and it should have been my last
My initial love was meant to be my forever love


The only time I'm happy when I'm dreaming in the past
I find happiness only in memories of times gone by


Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you is right
Occasionally, one ignores inner feelings that indicate the right path


And so you settle for whatever gets you through the night
Thus, one complacently accepts whatever helps them cope temporarily


The flame you thought was dead may suddenly begin to burn
The love you believed was extinguished can rekindle without warning


And broken hearts can be repaired, that's something that you learn
One gains the knowledge that a broken heart can be mended


I've re-lived every moment that i ever shared with you
I relive every memory of us together


What fools we were to end a dream that looked like coming true
We were foolish to abandon a love that had potential


Back then was when We touched the starlight
The peak of our love was a remarkable and magical time


Next time you fall in love It better be with me
If you fall in love again, choose me


The way it used to be Back then was when We touched the starlight
I wish to go back to the time when our love was at its best


Next time you fall in love It better be with me
If you fall in love again, choose me


The way it used to be Back then was when We touched the starlight
I crave to relive our past when love was pure and perfect


Next time you fall in love It better be with me
If you ever fall in love again, I want to be the one


The way it used to be Back then was when We touched the starlight
I desire to rekindle our love that was once as bright as starlight
