Next To You
Will Tulip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe it's in what you said to me
'Cause lately I've laid awake losing sleep
Thoughts of you inundating my dreams

And now, you keep me questioning every day
And these quick conversations just get in the way
And I don't know if you're there
Or if you would even care
But lately I've just been trying to say

I can't help it
Nobody told me that love is
Something that I can't jump in
Needless to say I do
And now I miss it
Wishing I wasn't so selfish
Baby, but I'm so helpless
Want to be next to you

Lately been feeling like no one's around me and I got nobody to hang with
I'm missing the weekends 'fore you started tweaking when I ditched my plans for your blankets
But now I'm so lonely and cold
Shit's getting old
Don't wanna be by myself
All by myself

And I'm wondering why I still need you
Will it ever stop?
Didn't fuck with my previews
Never play my song
Yeah, you always see through
And it feels so wrong

But I can't help it
Nobody told me that love is
Something that I can't jump in
Needless to say I do
And now I miss it
Wishing I wasn't so selfish
Baby, but I'm so helpless
Want to be next to you

I can't help it
Nobody told me that love is
Something that I can't jump in
Needless to say I did





(Fuck)

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe it's all in my head
Perhaps my feelings for you are just imagined


Maybe it's in what you said to me
Your words have caused my feelings to grow stronger


'Cause lately I've laid awake losing sleep
I can't stop thinking about you and it's making it hard to sleep


Thoughts of you inundating my dreams
You've infiltrated even my subconscious mind


And now, you keep me questioning every day
I'm constantly doubting my feelings for you


And these quick conversations just get in the way
Our brief exchanges are causing more confusion than clarity


And I don't know if you're there
I'm not sure if you even exist in my reality


Or if you would even care
I'm unsure if you would reciprocate my feelings


But lately I've just been trying to say
I've been struggling to express my emotions to you


I can't help it
My feelings for you are beyond my control


Nobody told me that love is
I wasn't prepared for these intense emotions


Something that I can't jump in
I can't simply dive headfirst into love


Needless to say I do
Yet I still want to try and pursue a relationship with you


And now I miss it
The feeling of being in love is something I crave


Wishing I wasn't so selfish
I realize how my own actions have caused me to lose this chance at love


Baby, but I'm so helpless
I feel completely powerless to my own emotions


Want to be next to you
All I desire is to be close to you


Lately been feeling like no one's around me and I got nobody to hang with
I've been feeling lonely and without anyone to spend time with


I'm missing the weekends 'fore you started tweaking when I ditched my plans for your blankets
I miss the days when we could spend time together without any complications


But now I'm so lonely and cold
Without you, I feel empty and alone


Shit's getting old
This feeling of isolation is becoming unbearable


Don't wanna be by myself
I hate being alone and crave companionship


And I'm wondering why I still need you
I can't understand why I feel this way towards you


Will it ever stop?
I'm unsure if my feelings for you will ever fade


Didn't fuck with my previews
You didn't pay attention to me before, but now I crave your affection


Never play my song
You never showed any interest in me before


Yeah, you always see through
You see through my facade and know how I truly feel about you


And it feels so wrong
Despite knowing how I feel, I'm still unsure of your own feelings towards me


(Fuck)
An expression of raw emotion and frustration

Honestly ever since she did DWTS Jr I think she’s become a better dancer than Maddie. Don’t get me wrong, I love Maddie as a dancer as well... but I duno just Kenzie’s progress seems so effortless now and she’s really enjoying herself and looks so confident and she’s just soaring through the competition and even doing tap?!?! It legit warms my heart to see her crushing the game after all she went through in dance moms. I feel like a proud mom hahaha. I’m so happy for her
