Next To You
Ryan Innes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every love song in the world makes sense when I'm near you girl
It's amazing how they knew what I feel for you
There's something sitting on my chest. Can't seem to find my breath
But it's nothing, it's nothing new I go crazy pretty baby every time
I'm Next to You.

Stupid is as stupid always does yeah and I got you to blame
Your lips, your eyes, your smile, your size they drive me so insane
I'm a stumbling, mum mum bada mumbling, fumbling for the words to say to you
It's nothing new woo hoo I go crazy pretty baby every time girl
I'm Next to You.

When it comes to you baby I don't got a clue
Why I try to cross that great divide
But then you come, my face goes numb, my words turn dumb
Baby there you go looking so fine, looking so fine
But you're never gonna be mine.

Stupid just happened right there and I got her to blame.
Her lips, her eyes, her smile, her size they drive me so insane
I'm a stumbling mum mum bada mumbling, fumbling for the words to say to you
It's nothing new woo hoo

I go crazy pretty baby every time
I go crazy pretty baby every time
I go crazy pretty baby every time
I'm Next to You.

Overall Meaning

The song "Next to You" by Ryan Innes is a heartfelt love song that reflects the deep feelings that the singer has for a girl. The lyrics suggest that being near the girl he loves is so overwhelming that he finds himself struggling to breathe and form coherent thoughts when he's around her. He compares his feelings to those conveyed in every love song and suggests that what he feels for her is so powerful, it's as if the songwriters somehow intuitively grasped his emotions. The chorus serves as the climax of the song, with Ryan's declaration that being next to her makes him go "crazy."


In the verses, the singer acknowledges that he feels stupid around her and that he can't find the right words to express his emotions. He appears to be somewhat overwhelmed and a bit tongue-tied by her beauty and presence. The bridge of the song expresses frustration and sadness that, despite his strong feelings, he'll never be able to be with the girl he loves.


Overall, the song is a poignant and emotional outpouring of a deep love and attraction that leaves the singer feeling helpless and confused. The lyrics focus on the conflicting emotions that can come with falling in love, particularly the feeling of being unable to express oneself adequately.
