Next To You
Peter Marsh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was alone
You were by my side
Through all my hurt and pain
You gave me hope
And All that we've lost
We will find again
As long as you are with me
till the end
I wanna take you far away
Somewhere magical where we
Leave it all behind
start over peacefully
You are the one
Who gave me a hand to hold
An arm to lean on
Love I hadn't known before
Until you came along
All my life I've searched for
Somewhere to call home
Next to you
I can be myself again
Next to you
Promise that you'll be here
till the end
We've hurt so long
Now it's time to heal
Let all the memories
fade and pass away
I know it ain't fair
But we have a chance
To write our story over
once again
I wanna take you far away
Somewhere magical where we
Leave it all behind
start over peacefully
You are the one
Who gave me a hand to hold
An arm to lean on
Love I hadn't known before
Until you came along
All my life I've searched for
Somewhere to call home
Next to you
I can be myself again
Next to you




Promise that you'll be here
till the end

Line by Line Meaning

When I was alone
At a time when I was without anyone else around me


You were by my side
You were there for me, supporting and comforting me


Through all my hurt and pain
During all the times when I was suffering emotionally or physically


You gave me hope
You provided me with optimism and helped me to believe that things could get better


And All that we've lost
Everything we have lost


We will find again
We will recover what we have lost


As long as you are with me
Provided that you stay with me


till the end
Until the very conclusion of our story


I wanna take you far away
I desire to go with you to a distant location


Somewhere magical where we
A place that feels enchanted, where we can enjoy something out of the ordinary


Leave it all behind
Abandoning everything and moving on to a fresh start


start over peacefully
Starting all over again in a calm and serene manner


You are the one
You are the person


Who gave me a hand to hold
Who offered me support by grasping my hand


An arm to lean on
A comforting physical presence that I could depend on


Love I hadn't known before
I have never felt this kind of affection previously


Until you came along
It was only after you arrived that things changed


All my life I've searched for
For all of my existence, I have been seeking


Somewhere to call home
A place where I can be myself and feel secure


Next to you
In close proximity to you


I can be myself again
I can return to my true identity


Promise that you'll be here
Make me a vow that you will stay with me


We've hurt so long
We have been experiencing prolonged pain


Now it's time to heal
This is the point at which the healing process begins


Let all the memories
Allow all of the memories


fade and pass away
To gradually disappear with time


I know it ain't fair
I understand that it does not seem reasonable


But we have a chance
Nevertheless, we have an opportunity


To write our story over
To create a new narrative for ourselves


once again
Yet again, starting from the beginning


Promise that you'll be here
Make me a vow that you will stay with me


till the end
Until the very conclusion of our story

i've been driving down that long road
and the way look clear to me
all i wanna do is driving get through
i wanna be next to you
every minute everyday
seem to make you drift away
wanna be somewhere else you know its true
i'd rather be next to you

as the time drifts away
can you hear the words i say
um.. lon...
i dont wanna be somewhere else coz you know its true
i'd rather be next to you

next to you
