Next To You
L 1 P S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In the song "Next to You" by L 1 P S, the lyrics express a deep sense of dependency and longing for someone's presence. The repetition of the line "I'm not safe if I'm not right next to you" emphasizes the singer's feeling of vulnerability and insecurity when they are not in close proximity to their desired person. The lyrics suggest that being physically close to this person provides a sense of safety, comfort, and stability in their life.
The second verse introduces the idea that mundane activities become enjoyable and meaningful when done together with this person. Watching planes and naming stars take on a different significance and bring sanity and joy when experienced in the presence of the desired person. The line "Sad mistakes and baked and hate the moon" indicates that when separated, the singer experiences sorrow, regrets their past actions, and even develops negative emotions towards something as beautiful and celestial as the moon. This further emphasizes the deep connection and reliance they have on being next to this person.
The repeated phrase "If you tell me no, I'll say I know, I know, I know" suggests that despite any resistance or rejection from the person they long for, the singer remains aware of their own feelings and desires. They acknowledge their past lows and admit that they cannot control their pace and emotions when they are next to this person.
Overall, "Next to You" portrays a profound yearning for closeness, emphasizing the belief that proximity to a loved one brings a sense of security, sanity, and joy.

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.

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.

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
