Next To Me
Emeli Sande feat. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

You won't find him drinking under tables
He is not a heavy drinker who drinks excessively in public

Rolling dice or staying out 'til three
He doesn't gamble or stay out late at night

You won't ever find him be unfaithful
He will never cheat on me or be disloyal in any way

You will find him, you'll find him next to me
He will always be by my side, through thick and thin

You won't find him trying to chase the devil
He doesn't pursue evil, money, fame or power at any cost

For money, fame, for power out of greed
He doesn't do anything unethical or immoral for monetary, celebrity or political gains

You won't ever find him where the rest go
He doesn't follow the crowd, he is unique and independent in his thoughts and actions

When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
When I am broke and lonely without any support, guidance or companionship

And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
When I feel lost and desperate for love and assistance, but can't find any meaningful connection

I know there's no need for me to panic
Despite all hardships, I have faith that he will be there for me and I will be okay

'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
I trust that he is my rock and will be with me, always

When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
When things get tough and everything seems bleak, hopeless and uncertain

And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When I am under immense stress, anxiety or fear and can't cope anymore

When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
All I need is his loving touch, encouragement and support to heal and feel better

I will find him, I'll find him next to me
I am certain that he is there for me, standing strong beside me.

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When the world is ending, the infrastructure is collapsing and everything is in chaos and ruin

When we've spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When humans have destroyed everything around them, the environment is barren and inhospitable for life

When everyone has lost their heads around us
When people have lost their minds and sanity, and society has crumbled

You will find him, you'll find him next to me
He will be my one constant, my unwavering anchor, even in the face of global catastrophe
