Next To You - Matthew Mole

You tell me you love one another

Your foot on the neck of your brother

You try to be done but you cut me down

You cut me down to size

I say it enough in the nighttime

I see it a lot in the sunshine

I’m telling my heart that I love you more

I love you more tonight

When you call me out

Call it what you like

This is not my bout

This is not my fight

All the love you bring

When we testify

I’ll give you everything

I’ll give you all my pride

Right next to you

Right next to you

Why do we even allow this

And how do we drift from the compass

And maybe I’m gone but you bring me back

You bring me back to life

And maybe there must be a reason

Or maybe it’s something we’re keeping

But love is enough to defend this heart

Destroy this evil mind

When you call me out

Call it what you like

This is not my bout

This is not my fight

All the love you bring

When we testify

I’ll give you everything

I’ll give you all my pride

People all around me try to make it through a day

Just give me all your hope so I can give it all away

And everyone around me has a purpose, has a name

Just take my heart and break it for the broken that you paid for

Everyone around me has a message to convey

Just figure out the picture and the little part you play

Right next to you

Right next to you

Right next to you

Right next to you
