Next to Me
Lepani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling older,
Are we getting colder?
'Cos I still ain't over you.
I need a shoulder,
I feel so alone now,
'Cos I still ain't over you.

I really thought the rest of my
Life would be the rest of you too, yeah.
And I feel like the best of my life won't be the same without you.

So if you come back,
I'll be right here.
Drown in my tears,
Will you come and rescue me?
Yeah, 'Cos I know we promised,
That we would move on now,
But I need you next to me.

I really thought the rest of my
Life would be the rest of you too, yeah.
And I feel like the best of my life won't be the same without you.

Yeah I know we tried,
And I know you cried,
'Cos I cried as much as you.
And I hope you're finding a love in time, If I'm ever over you.
I know we tried,
And I know you cried,
'Cos I cried as much as you.
And I hope you're finding a love in time, if I'm ever over you.

So if you come back,
I'll be right here.
Drown in my tears,
Will you come and rescue me?
Cos I know we promised
That we would move on now,
But I need you next to me

I really thought the rest of my
Life would be the rest of you too, yeah.
And I feel like the best of my life won't be the same without you.

So if you come back,
I'll be right here.
Drown in my tears,
Will you come and rescue me?
Cos I know we promised,
That we would move on now,
But I need you next to me.

I really thought the rest of my
Life would be the rest of you too, yeah.




And I feel like the best of my life
Won't be the same without you, yeah.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Next To Me" by Lepani express the pain and longing of a person who is still not over their past relationship. The opening lines convey a sense of weariness and aging, accompanied by the question whether the couple is growing apart from each other. Despite their agreement to move on and find love elsewhere, the singer is unable to shake off their attachment and yearns for their ex to return. The chorus implies a feeling of desperation, with the repeated plea for the former lover to come back and rescue them from loneliness.


The lyrics are simple yet powerful, as they convey a universal human emotion that many listeners can relate to. The repetition of the line "I really thought the rest of my life would be the rest of you too" emphasizes the deep investment and hope the singer had for their past relationship. The acknowledgment of mutual pain and attempts at moving on suggest that the situation is not one-sided and that both parties went through a difficult time.


Overall, "Next To Me" is a catchy, heartfelt song that shows the vulnerability and depth of the human spirit.
