Next To Me
Otto Knows Lyrics

As a kid they told me love was made up
When I was young, people would tell me that love wasn't real

But I used to tell them they were wrong
But I disagreed with them and thought they were mistaken

It's the blue eyed girl that made me wake up
Then, I met a girl with blue eyes who changed my mind about love

Stayed right behind me in this song
She was always there supporting me, like a background singer in a song

Instead they counted every heartbeat
Other people would analyze and overthink things like love and relationships

Thinking about the words to say
They would focus on what to say instead of feeling

Try not to understand our feeling
They would try to ignore or dismiss our emotions

Would it ever go away
They wondered if our feelings for each other would fade over time

Now those were the days
That time in our past was very special

Before you had to go away
Before we had to be apart

Now I'm dancing by myself
Now I'm alone and trying to move on

I'm in the rain
This is a metaphor for feeling sad and lonely

Now it's getting rather cold
As time passes, my emotions are becoming more numb

And I just wanted you to know
I want to tell you something important

That if my dreams will ever be
If my hopes and aspirations come true

Will you come dancing next to me
Will you be by my side and make me feel alive again

Next to me
Right next to me

You told me we would be forever
You promised me that we would always be together

But maybe we were just too young
But maybe we were too naive and inexperienced to know what forever really meant

I wonder if you still remember
I think about if you still think about those memories like I do

When we were dancing in the sun
When we were carefree, happy, and in love

Next to me
Right next to me

Next to me, next to me, next to me, next to me, next to me
Repeated for emphasis

Next to me, next to me, next to me, next to me
Repeated for emphasis
