Next To You
Joya Marleen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand right
Stand right
Stand right
Next to you

First time out in a while
Kind of really into you
Watching everything you do
There's this girl, she's flirting
Heavily with you, you're
Smiling as if you knew
You got me

But if I could stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
You would kiss me
Stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
Baby, are you living in a jar that's full of stars?
'Cause I'm the same, babe, either
Hoping that the feeling goes away
It goes away
It goes away

You sparkle more than you should do
Your t-shirt's dirty, it's so cool
It ain't new having an eye on you, on you, mmm
And then you look into my eyes
We smile confused at the same time
You look at me, you realize
You got me
You got me

And if I could stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
You would kiss me
Stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
Baby, are you living in a jar that's full of stars?
'Cause I'm the same, babe, either
Hoping that the feeling goes away
It goes away
It goes away

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Hoping that the feeling goes away
It goes away
It goes away

But if I could stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
You would kiss me
Stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
Baby, are you living in a jar that's full of stars?
'Cause I'm the same, babe, either
Hoping that the feeling goes away
It goes away
It goes away
It goes away





Stand right next to you

Overall Meaning

"Next to you" by Joya Marleen is a song that reflects on the feeling of being attracted to someone but not being able to express those feelings. In the lyrics, the singer describes how she is into someone and is watching everything they do. The song also portrays a sense of envy when the singer sees another girl flirting heavily with the person she is into. She wishes to be next to him, to hold his hand, and kiss him on a night out. The chorus of the song repeats the line "Stand right next to you" as a mantra, emphasizing the desire of the singer to be close to the person she is into.

[Intro]
Stand right
Stand right
Stand right
Next to you

[Verse 1]
First time out in a while
Kind of really into you
Watching everything you do
There's this girl, she's flirting
Heavily with you, you're
Smiling as if you knew
You got me

[Chorus]
But if I could stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
You would kiss me
Stand right next to you
On a night out and
You would take my hand
Baby are you living in a jar that's full of stars
'Cause I'm the same babe either
Hoping that the feeling goes away
It goes away
It goes away

Tenez-vous à droite
Tenez-vous à droite
Tenez-vous à droite
A côté de toi


Verset 1

Première sortie depuis un moment
Genre vraiment en toi
Regarder tout ce que vous faites
Il y a cette fille, elle flirte
Lourdement avec toi, tu es
Souriant comme si tu savais
Tu m'as eu


Refrain

Mais si je pouvais me tenir juste à côté de toi
Lors d'une soirée et
Tu prendrais ma main
Tu m'embrasserais
Tenez-vous juste à côté de vous
Lors d'une soirée et
Tu prendrais ma main
Bébé vis-tu dans un bocal plein d'étoiles
Parce que je suis le même bébé non plus
En espérant que le sentiment s'en aille
Il s'en va
Il s'en va
