Next To You
Tanner Helms Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on baby, let's go outside
I know the perfect place we could go
It'll be real nice. The grass is green, the sky blue
(This has been a Tanner Helms production)
I mean, I just wanna get next 2 you

Clouds in the sky high
Is how I feel, when I'm with you alone
Everyday I can't wait until
I see your face once again
Lets just go outside
On the grass
In the park till it's dark
I just wanna lie
Next to you lookin up in the sky

I feel high when I lie right up next 2 you
The feelin is true & I knew from the start
We had a love that so few people thought
Was humanly possible
(But everytime they told me a myth, I'd just turn around & tell them I'm with)
You, that's how I knew they were wrong
In they're heads
They just walk around sayin sh
Tryin to spread negative thoughts
Like the thorns in a rose bed
(If only they'd just open their minds, they wouldn't be solely confined)
To a broken love from the past
Scarred thoughts
Of a true love that didn't last
Hurts bad
But I know there's hope at the end
Been there
(Cuz where 1 stops, the next begins)

Clouds in the sky high
Is how I feel, when I'm with you alone
Everyday I can't wait until
I see your face once again
Lets just go outside
On the grass
In the park till it's dark
I just wanna lie
Next to you lookin up in the sky

I write poetry lines. For what I feel.
Just 2 prove to you that was I'm feelin is 4 real
Cuz ur fine & you know it's that s** appeal
(That's got me weak in the knees like I'm wearin high heels)
That's why I love you babe, you're all that + a degree
You even love this boy right here from tennessee
Who thinks you're perfect. Score? 3 out of 3
(What more can I say? Except you inspire me.)
To be a better person, watching you day to day
Helps me to see life in a brand new way
I don't know how it happened,
It's like I'm stuck with glue
But what I do know babe is I wanna get next to you

Feelin high.
When you're by.
We defy
The night sky.

Lets do it
Lets break it down
Ok, whatcha got whatcha got
I got this right here:
A what what what 2 1 2
A 3 4 5
A what 2 1 2 (I wanna)
I got the left ear
Ok, well I got the right ear soo
I wanna get right next to you
I wanna get right next to you
A 3 4 5
What 2 what 2
I wanna get right next to you
Hahaha, bring it back now

Clouds in the sky high
Is how I feel, when I'm with you alone
Everyday I can't wait until
I see your face once again
Lets just go outside
On the grass
In the park till it's dark




I just wanna lie
Next to you lookin up in the sky
