Next To You
L 1 P S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not safe if I'm not right next to you
Not okay, not safe, not able to move
If I'm not right next to you
If I'm not right next to you

Watching planes isn't lame when I'm next to you
Stars get named, so sane in dirty shoes
Right next to you
Right next to you
Next to you

If you tell me no
I'll say I know, I know, I know
I know I've been so low
I can't take it slow when I'm next to you
Next to you

Always break when I'm not right next to you
Sad mistakes and baked and hate the moon
If I'm not right next to you
If I'm not right next to you
Next to you

If you tell me no
I'll say I know, I know, I know
I know I've been so low




I can't take it slow when I'm next to you
Next to you

When he says, “cause the thing is, I just can’t say goodbye yet...” I literally sob ❤️ What an honest sentiment about someone you lose. Sigh. Such a good movie.

Paula Azevedo

I cried so much.

I don’t know why this film received such terrible reviews, for me it was the best chick flick/romcom I have ever seen and normally I’m not a fan of chick flicks (I even hate the phrase chick flicks) but this one was brilliant and funny.

Paula Azevedo

People hate to think and talk about death . That's why. It scares them. Love the movie though.

Totally agree with you. And for my money it contains Gerard Butler's best performance. He is absolutely marvelous in the deleted scenes too.

Dave Brown
