Next To You
Jessie Daniels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought I'd make it past the milky way
I never thought I'd see a different light of day
All of a sudden the stars are zooming by
Every time I reach I can touch the sky

You came to me
And you broke rules of time
You rearranged the universe
And brought your world to mine
So I could be next to you

I can see my dreams through your kaleidoscope
The sun is shining down a million rays of hope
Everything around around me has been redefined
The core of who I am has finally come alive





CHORUS

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jessie Daniels's song "Next To You" are a testament to the transformative power of love. The singer of the song expresses their disbelief at having made it past the "milky way," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for a difficult time in their life or a feeling of being stuck and unable to progress. However, the arrival of the person they love changes everything for them. Suddenly, the stars are "zooming by," suggesting a newfound sense of momentum and possibility.


The singer then goes on to describe how the person they love has "rearranged the universe" to be with them. This can be interpreted both literally and figuratively: perhaps the lovers have overcome great distances to be together, or perhaps their relationship has disrupted their notions of how the world works. Regardless, the singer is grateful to be "next to you," and describes feeling as though their dreams have been refracted through a "kaleidoscope" and multiplied a million-fold. They are no longer the same person they were before; their sense of self has been "redefined" and come alive.


Overall, "Next To You" is a song about the boundless potential of love to transform our lives and bring us a sense of purpose and belonging. It reminds us that love can make us feel like we're capable of anything, and that the right partner can help us see the world in a whole new way.
