Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé was absolutely new to me until I listened to her song "Next to Me." The track is the third single from her debut studio album, “Our Version of Events.” Written by Emeli Sandé and co-written and produced by Hugo Chegwin and Harry Craze, "Next to Me" definitely impresses me with its lyrics. According to Popyah, "Next To Me" became the songstress’ first single to reach the US Billboard Hot 100, charting at number 73. "Heaven" is her first single from “Our Version of Events.”
Next To Me
You won't find him drinkin' at the tables
Rolling dice and staying out 'til three
You won't ever find him being unfaithful
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
You won't find him trying to chase the devil
For money, fame, for power, out of grief
You won't ever find him where the rest go
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
[Hook]
Next to me ooh, ooh
Next to me ooh, ooh
Next to me ooh, ooh
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
Well, all I need is a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, will find him next to me
[Hook]
Next to me ooh, ooh
Next to me ooh, ooh
Next to me ooh, ooh
You will find him you'll find him next to me
Repeat Hook
Heaven
Will you recognize me
In the flashing light?
I try to keep my heart beat
But I can't get it right
Will you recognize me
When I'm lying on my back?
Something's gone inside me
And I can't get it back
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
[X2]
Will you recognize me
When I'm stealing from the poor?
You're not going to like me,
I'm nothing like before
Will you recognize me
When I lose another friend?
Will you learn to leave me?
Or give me one more try again?
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
Then I'm gone
[X2]
Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wake with good intentions
[X3]
You say that you're away
I try but always break
'Cause the day always lasts too long
Then I'm gone...
