In “Next to You”, Bryson tries to reconnect with a past lover. He knows she doesn’t quite trust him, but would still make the effort to build something up again between them. He misses her aura and just craves being around her.
[Intro: Owl Eyes & Bryson Tiller]
How far out have I got to move?
Oh, I've gotta get next to you (Oh)
But you're so far away (Oh I dig, I dig)
Searching for a heart another world away (I should probably say a couple words)
How far out have I got to move? (Oh)
Oh, I've gotta get next to you
But you're so far away (Oh, oh, oh)
Searching for a heart another world away (Just listen)
[Verse 1]
I'm still waitin' here, how soon can you make it here?
Hope that you will make it clear
Hate when you're away from here
Said I hate when you're away from here
Too far away, countin' the days, until you get here
Wait until you gеt here
Yes, you'vе been missed baby
But it's fine, I'm okay
How much longer could it take?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Owl Eyes & Bryson Tiller]
(Oh, I've gotta get next to you) Yes, I gotta get next to you
(But you're so far away) Yes, I gotta get next to you
(Searching for a heart another world away) You're alright
How far out have I got to move?
(Yeah) Oh, I've gotta get next to you
But you're so far away (Oh yeah, ayy)
Searching for a heart another world away (Oh, ooh, woah, ooh)
How far out have I got to move?
Oh, I've gotta get next to you
But you're so far away
Searching for a heart another world away
You're all I
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yes I'd wait up for you
I don't mean to rush you
But the rush I get touchin' you is
Somethin' else, baby, and loving you is (Loving you is intoxicating)
Ayy, thank God I found you
Just be around you, and I
You're tired of doing this, baby
But it's fine, I'm okay
How much longer could it really take?
Oh no
[Chorus: Owl Eyes & Bryson Tiller]
(How far out have I got to move?) Yeah, uh
(Oh, I've gotta get next to you) Yes, I gotta get next to you
(But you're so far away) Yes, I gotta get next to you
(Searching for a heart another world away)
(How far out have I got to move?)
Oh, I've gotta get next to you, but you're so far away (You take my love for granted, baby, leave them alive then stranded)
Searching for a heart another world away (Oh, ooh woah, ooh)
(How far out have I got to move?) Yeah
(Oh, I've gotta get next to you) Yes, I hope you make time, baby make time
(But you're so far away)
(Searching for a heart another world away)
(You're all I)
[Outro: Owl Eyes & Bryson Tiller]
Yes, I hope you make time, baby make time
(You're all I)
