Next To You
Sadler Vaden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a burned out song
The days are so lonely,
The nights are so long
I just can't wait to be by your side
You were an angel,
When I was on my own
A bright eyed kid,
You showed me love, that I could not deny
I knew it true, by the look in your eyes
You'll forever be mine
Now cross my heart
Hope to stay alive
Know that I'll always be by your side
Hell, high-water, misfortune at times
All this I will go through
Just to be next to you
Made it out of a
Cold, grey winter
One of us nearly changed
I kept my cool,
never lost my faith
You were an anchor,
When I was out of control
Chasing a dream,
Destination unknown
You showed me love, that I could not deny
I knew it true, by the look in your eyes
You'll forever be mine
Riding this road
Like a burned out song
The days are so lonely
The nights are so long
I just can't wait to be by your side
This ain't the last time that I'll say goodbye

Riding this road
I am traveling through life, facing challenges and difficulties
Like a burned out song
Feeling tired and worn out, like a song that has lost its spark
The days are so lonely
I spend my days feeling isolated and empty
The nights are so long
The nights feel endless and filled with loneliness
I just can't wait to be by your side
I eagerly anticipate being with the person I love
You were an angel,
In my darkest times, you were a source of comfort and support
When I was on my own
I felt alone and lost before I met you
A bright eyed kid,
I was once full of innocence and hope
With no place to call home
I didn't have a sense of belonging or security
You showed me love, that I could not deny
You showered me with affection and care that was undeniable
I knew it true, by the look in your eyes
I could see the sincerity and love in your eyes, confirming the bond between us
You'll forever be mine
I believe that you will always be by my side, in my heart
Now cross my heart
I solemnly promise and commit
Hope to stay alive
I have hope and a desire to continue living
Know that I'll always be by your side
You can always count on me to support and stand by you
Hell, high-water, misfortune at times
No matter what challenges or difficulties we face
All this I will go through
I am willing to endure anything
Just to be next to you
Because being with you is worth it all
Made it out of a
We successfully emerged from
Cold, grey winter
A difficult and challenging period
One of us nearly changed
One of us almost became a different person
I kept my cool, never lost my faith
I remained calm and never wavered in my belief
You were an anchor,
You provided stability and grounded me
When I was out of control
During times when I felt overwhelmed and lost
Chasing a dream, Destination unknown
Pursuing a goal without knowing where it would lead
This ain't the last time that I'll say goodbye
We may experience more separations in the future
