Next To You
Vincent T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see this longing isn’t fair
I can sit on tens and millions but be broken cause you are not there
Or anywhere
I grew so fine and tough
And then you
Land in my head
The uninvited guest
Still turn back to your will
Sometimes strength isn’t enough
You grew so bored of me
I was so mad I’d lose
If you could only see
I should be next to you
No matter how I split the difference I can see that
This longing isn’t real
You can sit on every instance but be broken
cause we never healed
Neither here or there
I grew so still soft
And then you
Creep in my head
The uninvited guest
All my nerves of steel
Still turn back to your will
Sometimes strength isn’t enough
You grew so bored of me
I was so mad I’d lose
If you could only see
I should be next to you
You grew so bored of me
I was so mad I’d lose
If you could only see
I should be next to you
In the song "Next To You" by Vincent T., the lyrics express a sense of longing, unfairness, and the desire to be close to someone. The artist states that no matter how they try to find a middle ground, the longing they feel for this person is not fair. They may have material wealth but still feel broken because this person is not by their side. The absence of this person leaves them feeling incomplete and yearning for their presence.
The artist reflects on their own personal growth, becoming strong and resilient. However, despite their strength, this person still manages to invade their thoughts and have control over them. This uninvited guest disrupts their composure, making them realize that sometimes strength alone is not enough to overcome the power this person has over them. It is clear that they have become so dependent on this person being in their life, that their own strength falters when it comes to resisting the will of this individual.
As the song progresses, the artist reveals that this person has become bored with them, leading to feelings of frustration and anger. In their mind, they believe that if this person could witness the depth of their emotions and the importance they hold, they would understand the significance of being together. They express a desire to be next to this person, as if their presence alone would solve the longing and emptiness they feel.
The repetition of the lines "You grew so bored of me, I was so mad I'd lose" emphasizes the disappointment and frustration the artist feels towards the indifference of this person. They are exasperated by the fact that this person doesn't see the importance of their connection and the impact it has on their well-being. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation, longing for this person to understand their feelings and recognize that they should be together.
Overall, "Next To You" explores the complexities of longing for someone who seems indifferent and uninterested. The lyrics highlight the vulnerability and dependency felt by the artist, along with the frustration caused by the indifference of the person they desire. It is a plea for understanding and the recognition of their importance in each other's lives.

No matter how you split the difference
Regardless of how we try to find a compromise
I can see this longing isn’t fair
I realize that this desire is unjust
I can sit on tens and millions but be broken cause you are not there
Even with wealth and success, I feel incomplete without you
Or anywhere
It doesn't matter where I am, I still crave your presence
I grew so fine and tough
I have become strong and resilient
And then you
But then you
Land in my head
Invade my thoughts
The uninvited guest
An unwelcome presence
All my nerves of steel
Despite my strength and determination
Still turn back to your will
I still find myself yielding to your desires
Sometimes strength isn’t enough
Occasionally, being strong is insufficient
You grew so bored of me
You became disinterested in me
I was so mad I’d lose
I was infuriated and afraid of losing you
If you could only see
If only you could understand
I should be next to you
I should be by your side
No matter how I split the difference I can see that
Regardless of my attempts to compromise, I realize that
This longing isn’t real
This longing is not genuine
You can sit on every instance but be broken
You can have everything but still feel shattered
Cause we never healed
Because we never resolved our issues
Neither here or there
We are neither together nor apart
I grew so still soft
I became passive and vulnerable
And then you
But then you
Creep in my head
Sneak into my thoughts
The uninvited guest
An unwelcome presence
All my nerves of steel
Despite my strength and determination
Still turn back to your will
I still find myself yielding to your desires
Sometimes strength isn’t enough
Occasionally, being strong is insufficient
You grew so bored of me
You became disinterested in me
I was so mad I’d lose
I was infuriated and afraid of losing you
If you could only see
If only you could understand
I should be next to you
I should be by your side
You grew so bored of me
You became disinterested in me
I was so mad I’d lose
I was infuriated and afraid of losing you
If you could only see
If only you could understand
I should be next to you
I should be by your side

You said you loved me
But what does that mean?
Would you cry
If I were to leave?
In my aching hands
Running down your spine
You said you loved me
How?
Wait for me by the water
On the first rain of June
And I'll be there with all the letters I ever wrote
For you, for you
Let's pack our bags
And head to the Rockies, babe
Just you and I
Getting lost in open spaces
And when you wake
I'll be right there, baby
And when you shake
I'll be shaking with you hun
And when you get tired of this town
Let me know, we can go somewhere brand new
'Cause when I lay my head to rest
I hope that it's always next to you
When you run
When you're gone
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, dear
Don't cry
Know I'm right here my baby, baby, know that I
Need you in my life
When the morning comes
Creeping in your bed
Just hold me close
To your [?]
And when you get tired of this town
Let me know, we can go somewhere brand new
'Cause when I lay my head to rest
I hope that it's always next to you
When you run
When you're gone
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, dear
When you get tired of this town
Let me know, and we can go somewhere brand new
'Cause when I lay my head to rest
I hope that it's always next to you
Mm, always next to you, baby
Oooohh
C Hope
You said you loved me
But what does that mean?
Would you cry
If I were to leave?
In my aching hands
Running down your spine
You said you loved me
Hah
Wait for me by the water
On the first rain of June
And I'll be there with all the letters I ever wrote
For you, for you
Let's pack our bags
And head to the Rockies, babe
'Cause you and I
Getting lost in open spaces
When you wake
I'll be right there, baby
And when you shake
I'll be shaking with you, honey
And when you get tired of this town
Let me know, we can go somewhere brand new
'Cause when I lay my head to rest
I hope that it's always next to you
When you run
When you're gone
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, dear
Don't cry
Know I'm right here my baby, baby, know that I
Need you in my life
When the morning comes
Creeping in your bed
Just hold me close
To your flesh
When you get tired of this town
Let me know, we can go somewhere brand new
'Cause when I lay my head to rest
I hope that it's always next to you
When you run
When you're gone
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, dear, hmm
When you get tired of this town
Let me know, and we can go somewhere brand new
'Cause when I lay my head to rest
I hope that it's always next to you, mm
Always next to you, baby
