Next To You
Prez-D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And all the things we wasted to see how we would play in time
And every time we waited we never knew what we would find

Too much running around you, all I wanted to do
Was get next to you get, get next to you

You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
Next to you yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah

Get next to you
Get next to you

Whenever we get too close you always say you're leaving
You taking steps away from me and I keep trailing miles behind

Too much running around you, all I wanted to do
Was get next to you get, get next to you (yeah)

You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
Next to you yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah
You're all that I need yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah, yeah-ah-yeah

Run girl I been trying to find you
But I can't work it out
You gotta hold on me, hold on me
Run girl I been trying to find you
But I can't work it out




You gotta hold on me, hold on me
Get next to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Prez-D's song "Next to You" convey a longing to be close to someone and the frustration of constantly being kept at a distance. The lines, "And all the things we wasted to see how we would play in time" and "And every time we waited we never knew what we would find" suggest that both the singer and the person they desire have been involved in a lot of uncertainty and hesitation in their relationship. They have spent time and energy trying to figure out if they are compatible and have often found themselves waiting without knowing what the outcome would be.


The repeated chorus, "You're all that I need, next to you" emphasizes the strong desire to be close to this person. It conveys that everything else pales in comparison to being in their presence. However, there is also a sense of desperation and frustration in the lyrics. The lines, "Whenever we get too close you always say you're leaving, You taking steps away from me and I keep trailing miles behind" suggest that this person is always pushing the singer away when they start to get close, causing the singer to feel like they are constantly chasing after them, always behind and unable to catch up.
