Next to Me
Sande Emeli Lyrics

You won't find him drinking under tables
He isn't the type to overindulge in alcohol and embarrass himself.

Rolling dice or staying out 'til three
He doesn't take part in risky or irresponsible behavior.

You won't ever find him be unfaithful
He is loyal and won't cheat on his partner.

You will find him, you'll find him next to me
He will always choose to be by my side.

You won't find him trying to chase the devil
He isn't interested in pursuing evil, sin, or temptation.

For money, fame, for power out of greed
He doesn't seek wealth, fame or status at any cost or due to his own selfishness.

You won't ever find him where the rest go
He won't follow the herd and do what everyone else is doing.

Next to me, ooh-ooh-ooh
Being by my side is what's most important to him.

When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
When I am broke and alone, he will be there for me.

And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
When I am in need of assistance or affection, he won't ask for anything in return.

I know there's no need for me to panic
I can always count on him and don't need to worry.

'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
He will never be far away from me and I will always be able to rely on him.

When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
During difficult times when everything seems hopeless and bleak.

And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When I am feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by stress.

When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
When I need someone to comfort me and dry my tears.

I will find him, I'll find him next to me
He will be there to offer his support and comfort.

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
During apocalyptic or catastrophic events.

When we've spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When humanity has caused irreparable harm to the environment.

When everyone has lost their heads around us
When society has fallen apart and people are acting irrationally or desperately.

You will find him, you'll find him next to me
He will remain loyal and by my side, even in the worst of situations.
